Berlin's Museums are Going Nocturnal on 30th of August 2025

Berliners are night-time creatures anyway so it’s a perfect idea.

A few cities across the world participate in annual events called White Night or Nuit Blanche. These events allow museums, galleries, churches, and other spaces to let the public experience culture in a different context – the dark of the night. Berlin’s doing a variation called ‘Long Night of Museums’ and it looks fantastic. 

Berliners are known for having dinner at 10 pm and partying until the early morning so a night-time museum bonanza is a perfect idea. It’s happening on Saturday 30th of August 2025 – there will be loads of guided tours of planetariums, laboratories, galleries, and museums, as well as workshops, film screenings, and talks. There are a total of 75 participating museums and, to make things easier, there’ll be shuttle bus services and free bicycles to hire. From the Anti-War Museum to the C/O Photography Gallery, there are enough places to interest everyone.

If you want to roam around the city and choose your own itinerary, you can do that – a pass for everywhere-use will be around €18. 

Tickets haven’t gone on sale yet, but when they do, you can purchase them through the Long Night of Museums website.
