 Berlin Encounter... great travel guide! October 27, 2008
My husband and I had never been to Berlin and were planning to visit for 3 days only. Berlin Encounter by Lonely Planet was the best travel guide ever. It was right on the dot for everything: places to see, where to eat, and how to manage your time. I recommended HIGHLY!
guide to berlin pretty good October 22, 2007

this guide is very helpful, with lots of great things to see, and usually from the description i could tell if it was something i wanted to see or skip, although there were some sites that I wondered why they were included, because they were not so interesting after i got there and i would not have made the special effort to go there if i had really known what it was. i found food and restaurants less helpful, because i usually ate in whatever area i was, not making special plans to go to a different area of the city to eat when travel is such a hassel. the maps at the back of the book are invaluable, although the outstretching areas are not included, and are often not included on guide maps either. the book also mentions that certain measurements and conversions are listed in the cover, but they are not. definately make plans with this book of what you want to see before getting there, because there are a lot of amazing sites, but some things are more interesting to different people

This book has all the information you need, to prepare you for a wonderful vacation in Berlin. It's the kind of book that you curl up with near the fire on a cold snowy winter day and read about the trip you'll take during the summer. But--------- there are better guides for those individuals who have travelled in Europe before and who just want the nuts and bolts and will allow the city to visit them. I personally recommend either DK (Dorling Kindersley) Eyewitness Guide to Berlin or the slightly older Knopf 'City Guide' published last in 1998. However with Berlin changing so rapidly, you'll probably do better with the DK guide. It has more photos which aren't essential, but are a nice added feature but more importantly it breaks the city up in a better way to help you get the most out of your time. I think it's much better.
