The Berlin travel guide by DK is the third that I have purchased before traveling overseas. They're great for planning your trip and helping you around the city once you get there. The information has always been accurate and they are small enough to carry around with you. I'm a big history geek too, so I appreciate all of the background information that these books provide. They give you a lot of insight into your destination. If you had to pick one travel guide to take with you, this is it! I wouldn't travel without one.

I especially like the way it provides suggested things to do for a 4 day stay and that it provides a laminated city map. I was able to develop an itinerary for our trip from this book. I also really like that it gives detailed information about how to get to each site.

After reading and examining the guide from cover to cover, I realized that it is a very informative and efficient little guide. There are a couple of points I would like to discuss. I will try to be as brief as possible.

Granted, this guide has a lot of details and useful information. Perhaps, one of the best things about the guide is that it makes references to the main places in Berlin (e.g. Brandenburg Gate) by their German connotations and spellings. This, I personally think is useful, since once you are in Berlin, it would be easier to ask for directions and/or the specific cultural landmarks.

Further, the pull-out map is simply AMAZING. It is not too big, but not too small, either. In fact, I find it to be the perfect side. So you get an idea, I was able to use Post-It's on the map for notation purposes and other uses. Also, since it is laminated, you can mark it with Sharpie. You can also use highlighter, but it fades away with use quicker (much more) than with a Sharpie.

The reason I am giving this pocket guide a four is due to the fact that when making cross-references with online research (e.g. with hotels or restaurants), some of the places or names given in the guide were not completely accurate. In other words, when I tried looking for a restaurant or a hotel, I would have a hard time finding information of the same because they have different names. That, to me at least, is a disadvantage.

Moreover, I wish the guide focused a bit more on solo-travelers. The way the guide is written, it seems as it was designed for family-traveling. In this sense, I wish it had more detail on traveling (via public transpiration). Don't get me wrong. The U- and S-Bahn map is useful (once you learn how to read it lol), but I wish it had more detail.

What I like best about this guide was the suggested itineraries. Giving ideas for day trips and multi-day adventures. Suggestions for your mornings, lunches and afternoons. Ideas based on where you are and how much time you have, with kids or without, frugal traveler or 1st class extravagance were all presented. Very handy.

Even better is the comprehensive, tourist friendly street map and the also included removable street map! Yes, two maps of subway, train and streets.

Various chapters sort the book into neighborhoods, attractions, food choices and general information. All presented with fabulous pictures and illustrations. I found this book to be incredibly useful for planning and general activities while in Berlin.

Highly recommended.

If you are looking for a kind of encyclopedic listing of sites with explanations, this will serve that need. But it's not really what I wanted. I wanted a guide that would be a bit opinionated, indicating which sites are most worth one's time and, equally important, which are not. The Rough Guide and Lonely Planet do this although I think both have declined in quality. Bradt does this for the places for which it has guides.

I have always like the DK Guides. This edition has lived up to my expectations. It has a great built in map in the back. I'll always buy the DK Guides for future travels.
