About this title

Synopsis:

Berlin has triumphed over decades as a divided city to become one of the most vibrant and thrilling capitals in Europe. Where else in Europe would the citizens welcome the noisy, brash spectacle of the annual Love Parade with open arms? Where else has seen entire districts rebuilt in only ten years, making the city a showcase of great architectural achievement? The classic Berlin as sung by Kurt Weill is still there, with shades of Marlene Dietrich haunting the smoke-filled bars; the elegance of the eighteenth-century city also survives in the fine town houses and the fabulous palace of Sans-Souci, a short train ride from the center. Living in Berlin takes the reader on a tour of the city's unique architectural and historical heritage, and of the city's hidden jewels and treasures - the Berlin that most travelers pass by. The book includes an extensive "insider's" guide, giving details on the best places for excursions and shopping trips.
