Front of large fold out map shows Schnellbahn-Netzplan, U-bahn and S-bahn routes. Author numbers points of interest and describes them on the back. Back has brief description of points of interest, and a 2"x3" map of each point. You still need to know what you want to visit based on prior research. U-Bahn maps for BMW Museum, Hofbrauhaus, Englisher Garten, Marienplatz and other locations are shown. Worth the cost.

I didn't find that this map was of any use, versus the map. A standard map given free by the Information booths cover almost all, and are free. The paper is thin, so that with slight usage it wrips along the folding edges.

This subway map is useless as it is about 12 years old and the subway lines
have changed greatly in Berlin. A waste of money.

This "guide" has the look & feel of a freebie handout, so $5 seems pricy for it. The big accordion graphic of the U- & S-Bahn system & very brief how-to-get-there (& why) directions on the backside may prove more useful than I'm expecting them to be. I'll be in a better position to judge this product's worth 2 weeks from now, after Berlin.
