Publisher's Synopsis
Berlin remains one of Europe's compelling destinations, a living memorial to some of the twentieth century's most powerful flashpoints, and a magnet for all-night revellers. The city's rugged character has weathered a turbulent history of wars and walls and, since reunification, its restoration as a centre of government. The rapid regeneration of areas like Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg, and most recently Neukölln reflects the huge attractions of the Berlin way of life, but at the same time commercial developments along the Spree are a controversial talking point.
Spanning world-class opera houses and museums, exceptional nightlife and the many facets of the thriving bohemian scene, Time Out Berlin provides the insider's guide to the city. Secret labyrinths, 24-hour bars and private art collections all feature in the handy new book design.
