Product Description
Product Description
If any city in the world can be called 'unique' it is Berlin. The Wall may have come down more than a decade ago, but the capital of re-united Germany remains one of the most fascinating and rapidly changing urban areas in Europe. With the help of local journalists, writers and experts, the Time Out Berlin Guide takes you beneath the skin of the city.

As a dedicated reader of Timeout Guides the Berlin guide sadly disappoints. Berlin has much, much more to offer (as I found out on a recent trip) than what is in this book. The grouping of cafes, and bars leaves the book impossible to navigate especially when looking for a good place to have a coffee on a Tuesday afternoon. There is also no mention of the various "squatter bars", which are difficult to find for your average tourist but should be included in a guide which prides itself on staying on top of the "hip" and "underground" spots in the city. The restaurant section is just not big enough, or varied, often with only one restaurant per type of food per area. On the contrary the sightseeing guide was adequate for a few days of wandering but would leave you short if you planned to stay longer. You better hit the streets again guys and live up to your reputation.

Essential for any visitor to Berlin
31 Oct 2002
I chose this book from among a dozen others prior to visiting Berlin (and the rest of Germany) this spring. Whereas the Lonely Planet Germany got us around the country, this guide kept us busy in Berlin. It's witty, well written and informative, kind of like the city itself.

Timeout does great job once again...
13 Aug 2002
Once again Timeout did not disappoint me. I only used this guide while I was in Berlin, and I was able to go and see everything that I wanted to do kein problem. The underground/metro may give you some headaches if you are not familiar with the German system...but I am currently living in Munich, and Berlin's bahn system is much better with only three zones(A, B, C) and the fact that there is an English(No english in Munich) translation means someone knows what they are doing. Some of my personal recommendations in Berlin...Victoria Park in Kreuzberg reminds me of a more peaceful, hardly any tourist Sacre D'Couer in Paris...Reichstag in the evening(go late, but not too late else they will tell you to come back tomorrow...it happened to me), small little red french fry shack on Orangenburger Str...100 to 150 meters on left side(world's greatest fries), and the east side gallery by Ostbahnhof.
