I just realised I didn't review this!
I used it extensively during my week in Berlin and it met my needs very well indeed. If I was staying in Berlin for an extended period I'd probably get something more comprehensive, but for a first visit of up to 2 weeks this should serve you well. The fits-in-a-pocket size and shape and pull-out map are excellent design features (though I gather women struggle to find clothes with functional pockets...). Being phoneless, I found the maps extraordinarily show more useful and well designed.
The guide covers all the things you'd expect; museums, art galleries, neighbourhoods, momuments and major architecture, food, nightlife etc. and has a section on practicalities like emergencies, medical assistance, phrasebook, etc.
On this evidence, I'd buy one of these Top 10 Guides for a city I was visiting for a weekend up to two weeks, if it was my first time there. show less

I flipped through and read just about every page of this guidebook both before my trip and during. The use of top ten lists and the suggested day trips were quite helpful and easy to read, and I agreed with most of their suggestions. What the book cannot help you with is the underground culture that is rampant in Berlin, from artist squats to reclaimed abandoned buildings, which is a vital part of the city's pulse (though I can't blame them too much for that, because underground culture is a show more constantly shifting landscape). show less

Deze gids nam ik mee op vakantie naar Berlijn, mijn favoriete stad in Europa. Ik was al eens naar Berlijn geweest met school, en dat was een fantastische reis.
Met deze boekjes, die lekker compact zijn, kun je je weg in Berlijn goed vinden. De heel obscure plekjes zul je er waarschijnlijk niet mee vinden, maar van te voren heb je met het lezen van dit boekje al voldoende voorpret!
