Good to know
Practical notes before your visit.
TimingAltes Museum is closed on Mondays. For a longer visit window, choose Saturday or Sunday, when it is open from 10:00 to 18:00; Tuesday through Friday, opening hours are 10:00 to 17:00. Public-holiday hours can differ.
EntranceUse the visitor entrance at Am Lustgarten, 10178 Berlin. Barrier-free access for visitors with mobility impairments is available via the service entrance at the same address; report to the porter. Small bags are allowed, but items larger than 30 × 20 × 10 cm must be left in the cloakroom, and luggage cannot be accepted, so travel light to avoid delays at admission.
PriceThe official row is a €32 Museumspass Berlin 3 Tage für Dauerausstellungen, while the GetYourGuide row is a €14 Berlin: Altes Museum Entrance Ticket with limited availability. These are different products and the seller rows do not state identical inclusions or cancellation terms, so compare the final checkout total and ticket conditions before paying.
DiscountsChildren and young people up to age 18 can enter Altes Museum free with the appropriate proof. A general 50% reduction applies to eligible visitors such as schoolchildren, students, volunteers, ALG I jobseekers and visitors with a severe disability of at least 50%, subject to valid identification. Free and reduced tickets are valid only with the corresponding proof, which should be shown at the entrance without being asked; the available sources do not establish a separate free-ticket time-slot requirement.
Planning your visit
Altes Museum stands on Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and houses the Antikensammlung of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. Designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, the building is a landmark of Neoclassical architecture, with a Rotunda inspired by the Pantheon; its earlier historical names included Old Museum and Königliches Museum.
The permanent exhibition covers Classical Antiquities from ancient Greece, Etruscan art and the Roman world. Prioritise the Praying Boy, portraits of Caesar and Cleopatra, ancient coins and the Roman sculptures beneath the Rotunda; the Green Caesar is another notable reference point in the museum’s ancient collection.
For a wider Museum Island visit, the Museum Island Pass can combine several museums in one day, while a Berlin WelcomeCard is a separate city transport and attraction product rather than an Altes Museum admission ticket. An audio guide and guided tour can add context to the sculptures, coins and architecture, but they are separate visitor services from the permanent exhibition itself.
The visitor entrance is at Am Lustgarten, while Bodestraße is the practical Museum Island access point shown on the wider site information. U-Bahn Museumsinsel on line U5 is the closest named underground stop; S-Bahn Hackescher Markt and Friedrichstraße are the listed rail alternatives. Berlin Cathedral is directly beside the museum area, making the Lustgarten approach useful for combining both sights in one walk.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- An online ticket can avoid the ticket-counter queue, but it does not guarantee that admission checks or security screening will be skipped.
- Bags larger than 30 × 20 × 10 cm must be left in the cloakroom or a locker; luggage and travel baggage cannot be accepted, so arrive without suitcases or oversized backpacks.
- Free and reduced admission requires the relevant proof to be shown at the entrance; without valid documentation, the concession may not be accepted.
- The visitor entrance is at Am Lustgarten, while barrier-free access for visitors with mobility impairments uses the service entrance there and requires reporting to the porter.
- Altes Museum is closed on Mondays, and public-holiday opening hours can differ, so a ticket bought for a normal opening day may not suit a holiday itinerary.
- The GetYourGuide listing has limited availability, creating a last-minute booking risk even when the official day-ticket route may still be the better fallback.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most.
Can I use a mobile ticket at Altes Museum, and do I need a time slot?
The official Altes Museum day ticket allows entry at any time during opening hours on the selected date, rather than at a fixed time. The partner listing shows a limited-availability entry ticket, but its mobile-ticket and time-slot conditions are not stated, so check the voucher details before travelling.
Can I cancel my Altes Museum ticket or get a refund?
Cancellation and refund terms are not stated in the available ticket details for either option. Check the final checkout conditions before payment, especially for the limited-availability partner ticket.
Is it better to buy from the official site or GetYourGuide for Altes Museum?
The official site option is the 32 EUR "Museumspass Berlin 3 Tage für Dauerausstellungen", which is designed for visits to permanent exhibitions over three days. GetYourGuide offers "Berlin: Altes Museum Entrance Ticket" for 14 EUR with limited availability, so it is the more direct choice for a single Altes Museum visit when available.
Can I bring a bag into Altes Museum, and is there a security check?
Small bags may be taken inside, but bags or backpacks larger than 30 x 20 x 10 cm must be left at the cloakroom or in a locker; luggage cannot be accepted. Allow extra time for storing a larger bag before admission.
What happens if I arrive late at Altes Museum?
The official day ticket is valid for entry at any time during the opening hours on its ticket date. For the partner ticket, late-arrival rules are not stated, so follow the voucher conditions or contact the seller if your booking includes a fixed time.
Do children and reduced-admission visitors need a ticket for Altes Museum?
Children and young people up to age 18 can enter free with the required proof, while reduced admission generally applies to eligible visitors such as students and schoolchildren with valid identification. Free and reduced tickets may need to be obtained or booked in advance, and the relevant proof must be shown at the entrance.
What is the main admission bottleneck at Altes Museum?
The ticket counter is the clearest avoidable bottleneck: the museum recommends booking online in advance to reduce waiting at the counter. The visitor entrance is at Am Lustgarten, and larger bags can create an additional cloakroom delay.
