Format:Paperback
I recently stayed in Berlin for 4 days and took this useful little book with me, popped it in my pocket and found it indispensible while travelling round. It contains the following:-
* Pull-out map and guide
* Guide to the Top 10 best of everything in Berlin
The first section of the book deals with the Top 10 locations in Berlin which were:-
1. Brandenburger Tor and Pariser Platz
2. Reichstag
3. Unter den Linden
4. Potsdamer Platz
5. Pergamon Museum
6. Kurfurstendamm
7. Kaiser-Wilhelm Church
8. Schloss Charlottenburg
9. Kulturforum
10. Zoologischer Garten
A small map of Berlin shows the locations of all the above places which is handy for planning your travels.
Each of the above places has several pages devoted to it, and also detailing another 10 sights nearby, which was extremely informative.
The next sections give the traveller lots of useful information about Berlin, some of which include:-
* Lakes, Rivers & Canals
* Best Places to Eat
* Famous Berliners
* Historic Buildings and Modern Buildings
* Children's Attractions
* Festivals & Fairs
and lots more.
There is also a section entitled 'Around Town' which gives detailed information about 10 attractions area by area, including shops, Pubs and Bars, Restaurants and Cafes, together with suggestions of what to do for the whole day.
The last part of the book has more practical information about Berlin such as the transport, security and health tips, places to stay, helpful advice for disabled visitors plus lots more. There's also a few phrases that you may need!
This little guide is packed with lots of tips, full of colourful illustrations, a detailed underground map, all of which I found incredibly helpful.

Format:Paperback
If you are visiting Berlin for two or three days, this is an excellent guide. There is just enough detail to be able to get a good idea of what you are going to see and to plan your visit in advance or on the fly, as you wish.
The guide is well organised and with good cross references between sections. Because of its fairly small size, the reviews of restaurants etc. are fairly cursory and there is by no means a comprehensive coverage. However, I rarely use guide books for that purpose anyway.
The format is easy to carry around and with judicious use of sticky notes to mark the things you are interested in for quick reference, it forms a good basis for a short visit.
One thing though, you will need to buy a decent street map of Berlin to go with it. The small map that comes with it is so small that it is virtually illegible and not sufficiently detailed unless you have spectacularly good eyesight!

Myself and my girlfriend have just come back from a weeks trip to Prague and Berlin and used both the Prague and Berlin versions of this book. I find them absolutely brilliant for giving you ideas of where to go, and what to do on your trip. Other guidebooks have more detail about accommodation and costs, but much fewer pictures. But it's the pictures which really make this book for me, as it totally wets your appetite and gives you a great idea of what to expect. It gave me a great couple of days in Berlin, and I'd recommend it! It also makes a lovely souvenir.
