3.0 out of 5 stars Berlin travel guides, April 2, 2003

By	Michael Turner (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lonely Planet Berlin (Paperback)

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.

This review is from: Berlin (Lonely Planet Berlin) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

It is a very complete guide, with all kinds of information, the maps could be bigger and folded.

5.0 out of 5 stars Berlin Encounter... great travel guide!, October 27, 2008

By	Alicia A. Rotman (Boca Raton, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lonely Planet Berlin Encounter (Paperback)

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!
