Berlin


Berlin is the capital of Germany. As of 2006, the city has an estimated population of 3,405,000, with 4,262,480 living in the metropolitan area.

During the Cold War, Berlin was divided between Communist East Berlin, and Western-orientated West Berlin, the latter of which was a Western enclave in East Germany. The city was physically divided into these two parts by the Berlin Wall which was erected in 1961, and came down in 1989.

Product Description:
I would like to introduce you to a new way of discovering our global community. The WALK Team, along with other photographers and travelers, have put together a journey of images to entice you into your next adventure. The idea for a series of photographic travel books came from a desire to give travelers a break from the endless pages of descriptive text. Instead, we have chosen to visually represent each city as a collection of daily experiences. Our hope is to capture the essence of each place so that you, the audience, can gain an understanding of what a place might be like. This is not an ordinary guidebook, in the sense that the journey is completely left up to you. We do not endorse restaurants or hotels or even a given itinerary. We simply excite you about the possibilities of travel. So whether you are a seasoned traveler or just embarking on your first adventure, we invite you to take us along the way.

Berlin has become one of the most transformed, rehabilitated and dynamic cities of the modern era.

Remnants of the old Berlin persist of course, and these sites are indicated on the STREETWISE® map of Berlin. Parts of the Berlin Wall stand as testimony to its dreary past; Museum Island exists with some of the most important museums in Europe. The infamous Brandenburger Tor stands proudly, ironically in front of the US Embassy. Then there's the bombed out Kaiser Wilhelm Gedachtniskirche. The addition of the new Holocaust Museum has become a reason to visit in itself.

The real Berlin is contemporary and stylish, its aesthetics driven more by artists, architects and chefs than by bureaucrats. If you are into contemporary architecture, walking Berlin will reward you because of the many new buildings and older modernist Bauhaus structures spread throughout the city.

The STREETWISE® Berlin Map enables you to experience all the excitement and sizzle Berlin, Germany has to offer. The avant garde capital of Europe these days is right here. Berlin in ’09 is what swinging London was in the 60’s. You won’t be disappointed.

The main map of Berlin covers the central city in detail and is indexed with important sites, hotels, architecture, metro stations and parks. An inset features Berlin’s metro system and fare structure.

Our pocket size map of Berlin is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use. The STREETWISE® Berlin map is one of many detailed and easy-to-read city street maps designed and published by STREETWISE®. Buy your STREETWISE® Berlin map today and you too can navigate Berlin, Germany like a native.
