The five historical museum buildings on Museum Island have been part of UNESCO World Heritage since 1999, and represent a collection that is unique in the world. Each museum building on the island was designed by famous architects of their time. Museum Island is home to collections in the Altes Museum (Old Museum), the Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery), the Bode Museum, and the Neues Museum (New Museum). The Pergamon Museum is closed for renovation until 2037 or 2043. The exhibitions cover prehistoric times, ancient history and 19th-century art.

Jiming Temple, a revered place of worship since the 14th century, continues to attract numerous visitors with its blend of history and natural beauty. First constructed in the 14th century, the temple has undergone several renovations, with most of what we see today reconstructed in the 1980s. It remains the region's most attended temple to date. In spring, the blooming sakura along the path bathe the temple in pink, attracting many visitors.

The idyllic Château De Monbazillac dates back to the 16th century and doesn't seem to have changed much at all since then. The beautiful exterior, in its green surroundings, is matched only by the well-maintained interior, which is open to visitors throughout the year.
