Museum Island

For lovers (and haters) of the famous Hohenzollern dynasty.

The story of Berlin's royal family is one of triumph, brutality, narcissism, and philosophical vision. From the baroque wigs of the Great Elector to the spiky helmet of Emperor William II, learn to recognise the faces and ideas behind one of Europe's most renowned monarchies.

Understand how Frederick the Great turned Prussia into a protestant powerhouse of military and cultural significance, his friendship with Voltaire, and his links with the founding of the United States of America.

Decide where power really lay in Bismarck's Berlin and discover how catastrophic lust for war led to an empire ending in surrender and abdication.

A focus on royal Berlin can easily be combined with other themes in one tour. Why not make a full day of it and head out to Potsdam to see more of the Hohenzollern Legacy?
