About the Book

At the heart of this full-colour and visually inspiring guide is a wealth of well-researched information and over 200 detailed recommendations, written by experts. From imposing government buildings and fantastic museums to a vibrant art scene and buzzing nightlife, Berlin is one of Europe's most exciting cities and you will find all the sights and top attractions explored in an easy-to-read A-Z format helping you navigate your way through the almost overwhelming array of sights. Superb 3D laminated illustrations display the key highlights in perspective and include the Berlin Wall, the Museum Island (one of the world's largest museum complexes), the Reichstag Building and the stunning park and palace of Sanssouci brought to life at the turn of a page. Clear and concise background texts cover Berlin's dramatic history, tracing key events from its origins as a trading centre at a ford on the Spree to the capital of Germany, its division and its reunification and beyond. Special feature pages cover topics of particular interest that give a rare glimpse into everyday life and throughout the guide you will find answers to some of Berlin's more intriguing cultural questions such as 'Where were the first potatoes in Prussia grown?' and 'What phenomenon do Berliners refer to as the 'Pope's revenge'?'. A comprehensive 'Practicalities' chapter covers all the essential travel advice you need, including accommodation, transport, food and drink, health, shopping, money and much more, not to mention useful insider tips for travellers with disabilities and those travelling with children. It reveals when and where you can catch festivals, holidays and events throughout the year. There are plenty of 'Baedeker tips' alongside the relevant places and sights information, making this guide ideal for on-the-spot reference. The guide is accompanied by a large, fully indexed, pull-out map, along with 27 detailed maps and plans within the text that clearly pin-point the best places to stay and top venues to eat and drink en route. There are 4 recommended tours specially designed to ensure you see the very best of this fascinating city. Whether you want to focus on the heart of Berlin or follow in the footsteps of the Prussian emperors, the 4 specially selected tours range from 3 - 5 hours, so you can choose the tour to suit you. Top sights are clearly plotted along the way with the distances marked between them. All of this invaluable information is contained within a handy plastic wallet that allows you to keep the guide and map together whilst ensuring that both will survive in all weather. Baedeker - setting a new standard in 21st century travel guide publishing.
