I toured Berlin for two weeks and this trusty little guide never left my side. I had some bigger books that were good too (Lonely Planet's Germany Book) but having this in my back pocket when out and about was a lifesaver. I too will seek out these books when I travel to other cities.

This was my first experience with the Lonely Planet series of travel guides and I will look for them again when exploring new locations. This book was simple, concise, accurate with information on city buses to use, hours of operation, and what to see or pass by. The maps of each district's sites, restaurants and shopping helped you acclimate to the neighborhood and the color photos gave you a sense of the place before visiting. The small, tearout map in the back was handy though I ended up buying a laminated larger one for more detail. Well thought out!
