Product Description
Berlin is like no other city in the world. Despite the ravages of war, the brutal division of the wall, and the struggles of reunification, Berlin continues to look forward. You can marvel at historic buildings painstakingly renovated (such as the impressive Reichstag), or experience some of the most innovative modern architecture anywhere. But Berlin isn’t about buildings. It’s about feeling alive and vibrant.
There’s something for everyone. From museums like the Pergamonmuseum, with some of the world’s greatest masterpieces, to poignant memorials like the Memorial to the Murdered Jews, to an exciting nightlife unlike any other city in Europe, Berlin will not disappoint.
Tuck this little guide into your pocket and head out for a great day of sightseeing: you’ll have over 100 places of interest at your fingertips, with insider tips on cafés, restaurants, and shops. We’ve also given directions for sight-filled walks around the city, including both East and West Berlin, along the former Berlin Wall, and to the museums in Charlottenburg. So forget those large, bulky travel tomes. This handy little pocket guide to Berlin is all you need to make your visit enjoyable, memorable-and easy. Attractive design features a second color on the inside
