Marco Polo Berlin

This pocket sized guide is built to get you under the skin of Berlin quickly, packed with insider tips and local knowledge covering Mitte, Tiergarten, Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf. Alongside the city's top ten unmissable experiences, it uncovers lesser known gems, from being shown around the former Stasi prison by a former inmate, to riding the U-Bahn in carriages with the roof rolled back.

Practical throughout, the guide includes budget friendly suggestions, ideas for keeping kids entertained, and sightseeing organised neatly by area to make planning straightforward. A set of specially designed Discovery Tours offers a more personal way into the city's character, while full colour photography throughout brings Berlin to life on the page. A pull out map is included too, light enough to carry alone on a big day of sightseeing, or paired with the full guide when needed.

There's even a curated Spotify playlist to get you in the mood before you've left home, alongside recommended apps, blogs, films and books tied to the destination, plus a handy list of essential German phrases to help you get by.

Berlin's history is as turbulent as its present is vibrant, a city equally at home hosting opera or a hip hop set in the park, serving Vietnamese coffee, an enormous schnitzel or Israeli houmous within a few streets of each other. With its mix of practical detail, personal insight and genuine local colour, Marco Polo Berlin is built to help you make the most of a city that rarely does anything by halves.
