Where to go in Berlin? Visit museums and drink coffee!

Berlin's diverse museum landscape not only offers outstanding art and history exhibitions, but also some of the city's cosiest cafés.

After extensive forays through art exhibitions, cultural relics or scientific exhibitions, Berlin's museum cafés offer the perfect opportunity to reflect on your experiences and chat over fresh snacks and hot drinks. With tasteful interiors, unusual architecture and surprising menus, the museums harbour some insider tips:

Café at the Bode Museum in Mitte
The sublime ambience of the café in the Bode Museum has already served as a film set. Unsurprisingly, the café is located in the magnificent large domed hall and offers a marvellous view of the historic grand staircase and the equestrian statue of the ‘Great Elector’. Guests can enjoy refreshing drinks, snacks and cakes at the marble bistro tables.

TorEins in Kreuzberg
The historic loading street of the German Museum of Technology is home to Café TorEins. Located right next to the Park am Gleisdreieck, TorEins offers museum visitors a welcome opportunity to rest their feet after an extensive tour of the various exhibitions.

Café Babette in Neukölln
Café Babette is located in the Kindl Centre for Contemporary Art complex. In cool and rainy weather, visitors can take a seat between the historic copper kettles. When the sun is shining, there are shady spots under the plane trees outside.

Museum Café Max in Zehlendorf
The café with a view of Wannsee is only open to visitors to the Liebermann Villa. Café Max is located in the former dining room of the Liebermann family's summer residence. In the summer months, however, guests are drawn outside: from the spacious terrace, the view sweeps over the trees and the lake.

Café Bravo in Mitte
The café at KW Institute for Contemporary Art is a real oasis in the centre of Berlin. The cobblestone courtyard with its trees interspersed with fairy lights invites you to spend long evenings in warm temperatures. The glass pavilion designed by Dan Graham is no less beautiful for dining and discussions.
