Review of 'Top 10 Berlin (DK Eyewitness Travel Guide)' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

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 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.
