The world's great cities are showcased in this exciting National
Geographic series presenting must-do neighborhood itineraries, insider

National Geographic Walking Guide Berlin is the ideal tool to
appreciate the quintessence of Berlin. After the fall of the Berlin Wall
in 1989, the city, split and diverse, revived around its historic
center, and today its cultural scene is the liveliest in Europe. Berlin
has completely changed, thanks to the work of the most important
contemporary architects. However, its history lives on in the monuments
of the Habsburg era, the reminiscences of the Cold War, and in the
numerous museums and memorials.
