Museums

Can you visit Dresden in 2 days? Yes. Here’s what you must do: Ogle the Green Vault treasures, bicycle the Elbe, taste Pilsner beer and see Zwinger Palace.

NYC’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is fabulous – but huge! If short on time, must-see pieces include the Van Gogh self-portrait, “Madame X” and the Egyptian Temple of Dendur.

Snorkel at the Cancun Underwater Museum. Shop for silver in Taxco. Taste mezcal in Oaxaca. See a different side of Mexico on your next Mexican vacay.

Mexico City surprised us, pleasantly! For an awesome 3 days in Mexico City, this Mexico City itinerary takes you to the best cultural attractions, museums, cafés and restaurants.

Walk through a dark tunnel with images of tortured souls sculpted on the walls, and you enter the world-class Hall of Opium museum.

It’s worth visiting the Diego Rivera Museum in Guanajuato, where Mexican painter Diego Rivera was born. See 175 of his paintings and works by other artists too.

The extraordinary Guanajuato Mummy Museum has over 100 mummies, including one of a woman buried alive. There’s also a poignant gallery of baby mummies. Not for the squeamish…

One day in Berlin isn’t enough. But if you only have a day, see the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag and paintings on the Berlin Wall (especially “The Kiss”). We also traveled back through Germany’s turbulent times at the German Historical Museum.
