Berlin: Museum Island Ticket & City Sights Audio Tour
We booked both the routes (Red & Green). It was the perfect way to experience every important landmark of Berlin. There were people with flags in the spots that the bus stopped. The bus was clean with plenty of headphones and the pre-recorded audio guide was very good, with smart comments.

Humboldt University of Berlin is on Unter den Linden in Mitte, near central Berlin transport links.

Humboldt University of Berlin, founded in 1810, is one of Germany’s most influential universities and a landmark of Berlin’s intellectual history. Located on Unter den Linden, it became a model for the modern research university by linking teaching and scholarship. The university is especially renowned as the alma mater of 29 Nobel laureates, and Albert Einstein taught and worked here from 1915 to 1928. Its main buildings reflect Berlin’s Prussian-era architecture, while interior details also reveal later twentieth-century history, including notable communist-era stained-glass windows by Walter Womacka. Today, Humboldt University of Berlin remains both an active academic institution and a cultural stop for visitors interested in science, philosophy, politics, and the city’s layered past.

  • Visit on a weekday morning for a calmer atmosphere around the main building.
  • Keep valuables secure on Unter den Linden and in busy public areas nearby.

What to expect

  • Expect a working university, not a museum, with students, classes, and restricted areas.
  • Look for grand historic architecture along the main building on Unter den Linden.
