Useless book
I've lived in Berlin in the past but wanted a new travel book to help me see all of the newer sights. This book is completely unhelpful for anyone spending time in Berlin. Even for someone who already knows her way around the city, this book was confusing and useless. The maps are all oversimplified to the point that they won't help you find anything, and the descriptions about where things are will get you completely lost or cause you to waste a ton of time. For example, the book's recommended ways to spend particular days are absolutely impossible to do. As someone who knows Berlin, I noticed that their sample schedules told people to go to places that are sometimes more than an hour and a half apart by public transportation and then travel back along the same route to get to another sight or activity. I felt like this was a waste of money, and I should have gotten the Lonely Planet or Let's Go guilde.

Eyewitness Berlin
We have used these guides in several cities and they are always informative and well arranged. The book was very useful. My only disappointment with this one was the map section. It lacked a good overall map. Once we got on the correct page it was OK but it was cumbersome to get there.

the PERFECT Guide
Being an Spaniard I has been compelled to buy this guide in English because the spanish edition was exhausted. . Nowadays, and after my trip to Berlin I can say: Yes, really the Perfect Guide!!! .
