MITTE. The DDR Museum offers a hands-on experience of what day-to-day life in socialist Germany was like. With a collection that includes GDR fashion, East-German television programming, and a classic Trabant car, it's a museum that panders to Ostalgie - the Nostalgia for the East that Germans are developing since the fall of the wall and passage of time. While the exhibit is small, there's a lot packed in, including an authentic re-creation of a GDR apartment, where you're welcome to share the sofa. S-BAHN: Hackescher Markt

KREUZBERG. One of Berlin's most significant museums, this facility is laid out in the shape of the Star of David, a stroke of genius by designer Daniel Libeskind. The impressive – and at times overwhelming – array of permanent exhibits offers an unparalleled glimpse at Germany's Jewish populace. The holdings, many originating from private collections, include contemporary art, sculpture and antiquarian ceremonial objects. The main permanent exhibit traces German-Jewish history from Roman times to the present day. S-BAHN: Hallesches Tor; U-BAHN: Kochstrasse

CHARLOTTENBURG - WILMERSDORF. At this city center museum, modern technology provides an intimate tour through the annals of Berlin history. Indeed, some eight centuries are covered during the two-hour, multi-media exhibit, including the city's mid 13th-century founding, the reign of Frederick the Great, and the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall. Of course, the facility itself is quite an attraction – after all, how often do you get to visit an original, radiation-proof bunker that's buried several feet under a busy city street?
