•The latest in the bestselling 500 Hidden Secrets series. • Each year sees Berlin attract more visitors than the last – over 30 million tourists will take a trip to Berlin this year
The 500 Hidden Secrets of Berlin is the perfect book for those who wish to discover the city, but avoid all the usual tourist haunts, as well as for residents who are keen to track down the city's best-kept secrets.
I can proudly say, I have seen, tried, visited and undergone many Berlin secrets (Geheimtipps). So, it is great I get a new list of 500 ones to also try. Admittedly, a good number of them were not new to me, and some of the mini lists (“5 best ...”) were not for my interests. Yet, what’s left fills me with a renewed sense of “ready to head out”. All this is helped by short, crispy, to-the-point descriptions. And these style elements make it a very valuable guidebook for different people of different tastes. And also a plus in very dynamic Berlin: the places I tried were all still there ;-)
