Baedeker Allianz Travel Guide Berlin, Potsdam

Baedeker Allianz Travel Guide about Berlin and Potsdam with a large city map.

---

Still under Construction The new Berlin is on its way to becoming a proper capital city again since the dismantling of the Wall but will there ever be an end to the sand, dust, stone, glass and steel, the new roofs and towers atop the old walls? A new underground railway line will run beneath the trees lining the avenue of Unter den Linden. Schinkel's Academy of Architecture, a veritable castle in the air, reaches for the sky concealed behind the tiers of stones printed on its tarpaulin sheeting. Cranes cluster around the Ostbahnhof railway station to haul the next building up from the banks of the Spree. This is how the city has been since the start of the century: Berlin is coming into being. ... Baedeker - the classic travel guide. Whether on site or when planning the trip, the largest section "Sights from A to Z" is always a help. Here the reader finds historically rich locations to experience, large and small, with their places of interest, and charming landscapes. Differently coloured "Visiting" boxes help find restaurants or hotels to suit every budget. There are many theme specials and up-to-date travel information. Highlights also include the unique, three-dimensional depictions. The section on routes suggests interesting and perfectly planned tours that guarantee stress-free excursions. Countless Baedeker tips are what make the trip special. Current background information on the destination, practical information and the map in the pocket of the book jacket complete the Baedeker Allianz travel guide.
