Museum Island: bag rules and storage

Berlin’s Museum Island pulls in visitors from right across the city, often with a bag still in tow and no obvious place to leave it.

The U-Bahn stop on the U5 line drops you directly at the complex, while the nearby Georgenstr./Am Kupfergraben tram stop and the Lustgarten bus stop are both within roughly two minutes on foot. None of those stops offers storage, but Alexanderplatz has lockers with a 24-hour limit and Berlin Friedrichstraße station has nearly 170 official lockers on its ground floor. Museum Island is located on the northern part of Spree Island, within Berlin's historic centre. Large suitcases and items exceeding carry-on luggage size are not accepted at the museums. Items larger than 30 x 20 x 10 cm must be checked at the cloakroom, though lockers are available for smaller bags and coats. Cloakrooms and lockers are available for coats, jackets, and bags, but large luggage cannot be accepted. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 a day at 9 locations near Museum Island Berlin.

Getting to Museum Island with luggage

The U5 line stops right at Museumsinsel station, so if you're coming by U-Bahn, the station is your last practical point before the bag restrictions kick in. The Georgenstr./Am Kupfergraben tram stop is about a 2-minute walk away, and bus lines 100 and 200 serve the Lustgarten/Museumsinsel stop directly next to the complex. None of these stops has its own storage, so plan for that before you board if you're travelling with anything larger than a day bag.
