Perfect guide to a perfect city. Everything that's there is in this guide. Well laid out structure to book, easy to get to the right sections for information.
BEWARE: the public transport map in the back is out of date - some of the S-bahn routes have changed. For example, you can't get directly from Schonefeld airport to Alexanderplatz anymore. In fact its a nightmare getting from that airport to the city centre by S-bahn and U-bahn. Took us two hours! Whereas the cab took us 30-minutes on the way back. Mind you, the cab cost 30 eoros, and the two S/U bahn tickets cost 4 euros.
There are currently TWO versions of the public transport map in circulation, and even the tourist information offices and the hotel reception were confused and kept trying to give us the wrong information. Didn't seem to want to know when I was telling them they were wrong and why.

THIS IS THE PERFECT GUIDE FOR THIS EXCELLENT CITY. THE MAPS ARE VERY DETAILED AND THERE IS A VERY GOOD SELECTION OF RESTAURANTS OFFERED OF WHICH WE USED THREE(12 APOSTLES ON GEORGESTRASSE VERY GOOD).
THE GUIDE WILL GIVE YOU GOOD ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO GO.
IT WAS AN INVALUABLE AID TO PLANNING OUR WEEKEND BEFORE WE ARRIVED.

As what one would expect from DK guides, this is marvelous. The entries are succinct and descriptive. The section at the back about tips for visitors to Berlin is brilliant. I went to Berlin in January 2010 and the DK guide was very useful and up to date. I would recommend this guide to everyone!

If you are familiar with the DK Eyewitness Travel format then you won't be disappointed. Full of the sort of information you need for a visit, well presented and illustrated. Ideal for planning your visit without getting bogged down by pages of endless text.

Perfectly fit for purpose and even had 4 day itinerary which is precisely the number of days son and son's betrothed are spending in Berlin. The guide book will be passed round the family after that as, following the many good TV programmes commemmorating the 20 years since the Wall came down, we are all 'Berlin experts' now and we all want to visit.

I collect this guides because I find them very useful and with a quite good quality. But particulary this one doesn't work as good as the version for Paris or Rome. I think it needs a couple of revitions before reach the quality that those other guides have.

Like all Eyewitness Guides, this Berlin guidebook is packed full of colour photographs and illustrations, which makes it pleasurable to read. The maps aren't too bad, though not as easy to follow as those in Lonely Planet or Rough Guide. However, there is more practical information than in some of the Eyewitness titles and the public transport section is surprisingly strong. It divides the city into sections, which can be confusing when you come to the boundary between two sections and have to spend time thumbing through trying to find the relevant page. It does focus heavily on the centre with sights even quite close to the centre - such as the Berlin Wall memorial - relegated to the outskirts section, which again makes them harder to find. It's quite a big book - a bit too big for a carry-round guide, though I did manage to take it about with me. I would recommend the smaller 'Top 10' version or even the new ultra-mini pocket guides for greater ease of use when on the road. Overall, useful enough to be worth having with you, though not without its faults - and one of the smaller sister versions probably provides enough of the content along with a more compact format.

This book just tells you everything you need to know about a place, even the food and drink. I became hooked on these books after using one in Japan, Berlin is about my tenth guide. Four Great Days in Berlin is great if you are stuck for ideas. The book is packed with photographs, illustrations, maps and floorplans, there is really never a need to buy the attraction guide. The book recommends hotels, restaurants, shops and entertainment. It provides invaluable travel information. I can honestly say I don't go away without my DK Eyewitness Guide.
