Every year, Berlin has an evening where all the museums open until the wee hours of the morning. Or at least until 2am. They call it, the Long Night of the Museums. It’s great value, costing only €15 for access to all museums including transport.

We started our evening visiting Berlin’s townhall located near tourist-central, Alexanderplatz. Like many European central cities, Berlin’s townhall is majestic, housing plenty of art work and, on this evening, a number of performances, including a weird dance-performance art troupe that blocked the stairwell to the exit/entrance for sometime.

Admission to the townhall was free, and we ended up diverting for dinner and drinks at a bar making it not really worth our while going out to the rest of the museums with only a couple of hours to spare. I’m still keen to go and visit the awesome looking Computer Game museum (yes I’m a geek), and a handful more but I’m sure I’ll have plenty more to see.

Although I felt a bit disappointed not being able to make the most of the evening, we still had great fun with great company (see above!)
