It has been the setting for a
threatening dictatorship, Hollywood spy thrillers, and some of the most
earth-shaking political events of the twentieth century. Now, unified Berlin is
the fourth-most-visited city in Europe. Once split by communist regimes, hidden
behind the enigma of the Iron Curtain, and divided by the Berlin Wall, this
global capital is teeming with mysteries, sights, and delights for travelers.
From casual walks among gothic,
postmodern, and classical architecture to day trips to the outlying villages,
the updated Maverick Guide to Berlin: 3rd Edition leads visitors
on a tour of the German capital with instructions on how to find the latest and
finest dining, shopping, and hotels in the city. It is also an exciting guide to
centuries of historyopolitical, artistic, and religiousoand a modern escort to
awe-inspiring museums, cathedrals, and stately palaces.
The Maverick Guide to Berlin
is the first city guide of the acclaimed Maverick Guide
Series . As much for entertainment as information, the new third edition
of this now classic guidebook easily proves that this one city has as much to
offer as some entire countries.
