Rick Steves, with Cameron Hewitt & Gene Openhaw

Rick Steves' guidebook series. City, regional and country guides

"Berlin today is the nuclear fuel rod of a great nation, and no tour of Germany is complete without a look at its historic and reunited capital. A city of leafy boulevards, grand Neoclassical buildings, world-class art, and glitzy shopping arcades, it's vibrant with youth, energy, and an anything-goes-and-anything's-possible buzz. As you walk over what was the Wall and through the well-patched Brandenburg Gate, it's clear that history is not contained in some book; it's an exciting story in which we play a part. In Berlin, the fine line between history and current events is excitingly blurry. Even non-historians find Berlin captivating, lively, fun-loving, all-around enjoyable -- and easy on the budget. Explore the fun and funky neighborhoods in the former East, packed with creative eateries and boutiques trying to one-up each other. Peruse the city's world-class museums, then pedal along the Spree riverfront before sitting down to nurse a stein of brew or dive into a cheap Currywurst."--, Provided by publisher
