Berlin has become one of the most transformed, rehabilitated and dynamic cities of the modern era.

Remnants of the old Berlin persist of course, and these sites are indicated on the STREETWISE® map of Berlin. Parts of the Berlin Wall stand as testimony to its dreary past; Museum Island exists with some of the most important museums in Europe. The infamous Brandenburger Tor stands proudly, ironically in front of the US Embassy. Then there's the bombed out Kaiser Wilhelm Gedachtniskirche. The addition of the new Holocaust Museum has become a reason to visit in itself.

The real Berlin is contemporary and stylish, its aesthetics driven more by artists, architects and chefs than by bureaucrats. If you are into contemporary architecture, walking Berlin will reward you because of the many new buildings and older modernist Bauhaus structures spread throughout the city.

The STREETWISE® Berlin Map enables you to experience all the excitement and sizzle Berlin, Germany has to offer. The avant garde capital of Europe these days is right here. Berlin in ’09 is what swinging London was in the 60’s. You won’t be disappointed.

The main map of Berlin covers the central city in detail and is indexed with important sites, hotels, architecture, metro stations and parks. An inset features Berlin’s metro system and fare structure.

Our pocket size map of Berlin is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use. The STREETWISE® Berlin map is one of many detailed and easy-to-read city street maps designed and published by STREETWISE®.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even Berliners thought it was a Great Map, November 27, 2005

By	rizabiz "rizabiz" (Westhampton Beach, NY USA) - See all my reviews

The Streetwise Berlin map was convenient even though it does not cover the outer limits of Friedrichstein and basically does not cover outside of the S/U Bahn A/B zone. However, the area it covers is what a tourist generally needs. The best part of the map, in addition to it's size, was the S/U Bahn map which made it convenient and quick to figure out which train to take and the proper direction. It doesn't cover the street trams, but we could figure this out easily and did not find a map that covered that anyhow. We used this Streetwise map constantly. And, like I said, the Berliners I met, all said that the map was fantastisch. Small sized, it fits right into your bag or pocket and notes museums and other great sight in pink.

3.0 out of 5 stars good, durable, but a little out of date, December 8, 2005

By	N. K. - See all my reviews

I got this map last year as a gift before I moved to Berlin for a short time. It was nice to have when we were in the Center of Berlin, but there are large parts of Berlin that are not on the map, so we also had another more extensive map of Berlin. Keep in mind that they also changed the subway system a bit in December 2004, so the map I have has the old map on it. There are subway maps on all the trains, so you can find your way around very easily.

Its a useful and durable tourist map, but any good guidebook will have the same included.

5.0 out of 5 stars A walking-around essential, May 27, 2008

By	Happy wanderer "Sue" (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews

Those who complain about the area covered are missing the point of Streetwise maps. They don't require the constant folding and unfolding of a more comprehensive map. If you expect to be primarily in the city center, a Streetwise map is perfect, and it's so easy to tuck into a pocket or bag. Any Berlin map does run the risk of becoming outdated, since the city has changed regularly since reunification, but the 2008 revised edition now being sold is reliable and seems up to date.
