Lonely Planet Pocket Berlin Lonely Planet and Schulte-Peevers, Andrea

Berlin moves fast — street art appears overnight, clubs close and reopen under new names, entire neighborhoods get reborn. This pocket guide keeps pace. Andrea Schulte-Peevers knows Berlin's rhythms: the beer gardens where locals actually drink, the galleries worth the trek to Wedding, the döner stands that spark genuine debates. She covers the heavy history — the Wall, the memorials, the museums that demand your full attention — but doesn't stop there. You'll find the rooftop bars, the flea markets, the curry wurst spots that have earned their lines. The format is genuinely pocket-sized, designed for throwing in a daypack between the East Side Gallery and a canal-side späti. Maps are clear, walking tours are tight, and the neighborhood breakdowns help you move beyond Mitte. Whether you're chasing Cold War history or just want to eat exceptionally well for cheap, this gets you oriented fast.
