What is the difference between the €8 and the €16 ticket for the Neues Museum?

yeah the €8 is the reduced ticket, students get that price. they're usually fine with any valid student id even from abroad, i've seen people use non-eu ones before without issue. the €16 is the full price ticket that includes the special exhibitions which change a couple times a year. if you're on a budget and only care about the main collection the €8 is fine, but i'd check what special exhibition is on rn because they sometimes have really good ones in the neues museum

The €16 ticket includes the special exhibitions on top of the permanent collection, and yeah the €8 is the reduced rate for students, pensioners, and a few others. Not sure about an Irish student ID, but they're usually fine with any valid international student card.

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
