Description
Find your own journey. Berlin is a city you can return to with new interests each time. History, art, food and city life exist side by side, and Lonely Planet helps you choose a thread through your days without losing room for spontaneous detours.
The guide covers, among other things, the former Stasi prison, currywurst at Curry 36 and Tempelhofer Feld. The Holocaust Memorial, Humboldt Forum and Gemäldegalerie are other highlighted sights. This makes it possible to combine days of major impressions with smaller breaks. You can immerse yourself in history one day, follow your interest in art the next, and give a new neighbourhood proper time on the third.
This is the area covered by the guide. The area chapters cover, among others, Mitte, Alexanderplatz and Museumsinsel, Tiergarten, Charlottenburg, Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg and Neukölln. A pull-out map of Berlin is included. The book also offers suggestions for day trips, including to Potsdam, Oranienburg and Chorin. It therefore suits both a short stay with clear priorities and a longer trip where you want to experience more of the city and surrounding areas. Use the maps to group visits that fit well together on the same day.
From travel ideas to a plan that suits you. The book combines inspiration with practical planning. You’ll find route suggestions, maps and recommendations on food, accommodation, transport and the best time to travel, among other things. Background material on culture, history and local life provides further insight for understanding the places you visit. Use the content to compare options before departure, and to find your next stop while on the road.
A physical travel guide lets you gather your ideas in one place. Browse between the areas, lay the map alongside your itinerary and pick out a few experiences worth extra time. You don’t have to follow every suggestion: the book can just as easily serve as a starting point for a slower trip, with fewer moves and more time to experience each place. It suits both solo planning and situations where several travelers need to agree on what the holiday should include.
