Good to know

Practical notes before your visit.

TimingThe Bode Museum is closed on Mondays, open Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 to 17:00, and Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00. Public holidays and events can change the schedule, so check the official special-opening-hours notice before travelling.
EntranceUse the Bode Museum visitor entrance at Am Kupfergraben, reached via Monbijou Bridge. Small bags are allowed, but items larger than 30 × 20 × 10 cm must be left in the cloakroom; luggage cannot be accepted, so arrive without large suitcases or oversized backpacks.
PriceThe official benchmark shown here is €24 for the “Jahreskarte Museumsinsel,” while the partner option is €32 for “Berlin: Classical Concerts at the Bode Museum Berlin.” These products are not directly equivalent, so compare the visit or concert inclusion and check the final checkout total before booking.
DiscountsChildren and teens under 18 are eligible for free admission with the appropriate proof. Reduced admission generally applies to schoolchildren, students, people performing national or community service, unemployed persons claiming ALG I benefits, and severely disabled visitors with at least a 50% reduction in earning capacity; bring the corresponding identification. Some special exhibitions may require a timed ticket, so check the selected product’s instructions.

Planning your visit

Bode Museum stands at the northern tip of Museum Island, the UNESCO World Heritage Site known in German as Museumsinsel Berlin. Designed by Ernst von Ihne, the building opened in 1904 as the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum and was later named for Wilhelm von Bode, whose collecting shaped the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.

Inside, the Skulpturensammlung presents European sculpture alongside paintings from the Gemäldegalerie, while the Museum für Byzantinische Kunst covers Late Antique and Byzantine works. Highlights include Italian Renaissance sculpture by Donatello, German works by Tilman Riemenschneider, and the Equestrian statue of the Great Elector near the entrance. The Münzkabinett adds coins and medals, and the building rises directly beside the Spree River.

The visitor entrance is on Am Kupfergraben, reached via Monbijoubrücke. S-Bahn Hackescher Markt and Bahnhof Friedrichstraße are the most useful rail stops, while the museum’s barrier-free access is described as partial. A Bode Museum admission ticket is suitable for a focused visit; a Museum Island day ticket covers the island’s museums for one day, and Berlin WelcomeCard products can provide direct admission when the relevant version is accepted.

The official schedule lists Monday as closed, with longer hours on Saturday and Sunday than on weekdays. A skip-the-line entry mainly helps avoid the ticket-counter queue, while admission checks still apply. Visitors can use a multilingual audio guide or the museum app, and a guided tour offers structured context; free admission under 18 requires the appropriate ticket or booking route and proof at entry.

Before you buy

Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.

  • The official option is an annual pass titled “Jahreskarte Museumsinsel,” while the GetYourGuide option is a classical concert product; verify that the selected product matches your intended visit and inclusions.
  • The GetYourGuide option has limited availability, so it may not be suitable for a last-minute booking.
  • Small bags are allowed, but items larger than 30 × 20 × 10 cm must be left at the cloakroom; luggage cannot be accepted.
  • If your bag needs checking, allow extra time for the cloakroom step before entering through the Monbijou Bridge entrance.
  • Bode Museum is only partially wheelchair accessible, so visitors who need step-free access should confirm the usable route before booking.

Frequently asked questions

The things people ask most.

Can I use a mobile ticket at Bode Museum, and do I need a time slot?

Online tickets can be used for admission, but the official Bode Museum day ticket is valid at any time during opening hours on the ticket date rather than for a fixed entry slot. Follow the instructions on your voucher for partner products, as event tickets may have separate entry details.

Can I cancel my Bode Museum ticket or get a refund?

Cancellation and refund terms depend on the product and seller. The supplied ticket details do not state a cancellation policy, so check the final checkout conditions before paying.

Should I buy from the official seller or a partner?

Choose the official seller for the “Jahreskarte Museumsinsel” annual pass. The GetYourGuide option is a separate “Berlin: Classical Concerts at the Bode Museum Berlin” experience, so it is relevant only if you specifically want the concert rather than a standard museum admission product.

What bags can I bring into Bode Museum?

Small bags are permitted, while items larger than 30 × 20 × 10 cm must be left at the cloakroom. Luggage cannot be accepted, and security or cloakroom checks can still affect entry even when you hold an online ticket.

What happens if I arrive late?

A standard official day ticket is valid throughout the opening hours on its date, so it is not tied to a narrow arrival time. For the concert product, follow the event’s voucher instructions because late-entry rules may differ.

Do children and reduced-admission visitors need a ticket?

Children and teenagers under 18 can enter free with the required proof, while eligible reduced-admission visitors must present valid identification. The museum’s free and reduced tickets remain subject to its admission rules, so bring the relevant document.

Is there a bottleneck inside Bode Museum?

The main practical bottlenecks are the visitor entrance, any admission queue, security checks and the cloakroom for oversized bags. Booking online can avoid waiting at the ticket counter, but it does not guarantee that security screening or other entry checks will be skipped.
