Berlin has been whispered about among those in-the-know for several years now – fashion trade shows there have become critical to industry trends, Berlin based artists have started to gain traction in the contemporary art world, and German food such as bratwurst has been finding its way on the chicest menus of cosmopolitan cities. It’s no surprise, then, that Berlin is the latest in the series of Taschen guides to popular hot spots.

As she did in sister guides to Paris, London and New York, Angelka Taschen creates an experience within the pages that makes you feel like an insider. From the most intriguing stores to the little known boutique hotels to neighborhood favorite pubs and restaurants, traveling with a Taschen guide is like having a local walk by your side through the city streets.
