We were there in june 2012; 5 beautiful days in Berlin!
We liked the Pergamon Museum the most; really unforgetable.Next comes the Alte Nationagallerie; most beautiful sculpture of two princesses; and a room full of impressionist paintings that we had almost for us alone(of course there are many many ore excellent paintings).
The Neues Museum is good, you can't miss Nefertiti's Head; a jewell; but comes third without doubts.
Visiting the three in one day is too much; I will visit the Pergamon one day; and on another day the other two, devoting no les than 3 or 4 hours to the "Alte" and may be 2 hours to the "Neue"(more if you really like; but two hours were good for us).
As a side comment; the Reichstag is a must visit for us; and you must pre register via internet.
Also Potsdam is really good.
Enjoy your visit.
Get there EARLY in the day. I'll say it again: EARLY. The lines can be long especially when tour buses show up and discharge a whole BUNCH of people.
jelopez33, thanks for the detailed information. I do have Reichstag covered - made reservations for two visits, as I wanted the English tour (Tuesdays @2pm) but also wished to visit at night.
Re Potsdam, we travelled there on an earlier visit so this time I'm concentrating on museums.
Dukey1, even if one arrives EARLY, doesn't that just cover one musuem admission and we'd be in with the BUNCH for the others?
Hope this isn't considered rude, but I'm topping this myself in quest for more info.
I know a lot of Fodorites have been to Berlin!

I don't know, but I think this can be interesting:
"Memorial to the German Resistance"; the museum packs documents and very little other things; but I was really moved when entering a big open space,where Stauffenberg and many other were executed.There is also a moving monument.
Near the Tiergarten, near Sony Center(you can walk); free admision; on Stauffenberg strasse.
Let me know if I can give you any other tip.
