The Time Out Berlin Shortlist is a must-have travel companion for anyone heading to the German capital that remains one of Europe's most compelling destinations. The book's easy to use format, suggested itineraries, selected listings, coverage of main sights and detailed mapping make it the perfect pocket-sized companion for a visit to the city. Berlin is 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.
