The StyleCity series focuses on the vitality and uniqueness of the world's greatest cities. Each volume is superbly designed and produced, yet ingeniously practical, with lavish photography, easy-to-read maps, and informed and enjoyable texts.

From offbeat cafes and cutting-edge restaurants to the most stylish stores, hotels and neighbourhoods, StyleCity reveals and revels in all the special places where both locals and discerning travellers can find a vibrant and idiosyncratic urban experience. Ravaged by history, riven in half, gateway to Eastern Europe, Berlin is one of the most dynamic and exciting cities in Europe, a cultural, artistic and creative magnet for the third millennium. Architectural icons - new and old - entrenched bohemianism, and a flamboyant nightlife are just a few of Berlin's colourful facets. Against a rapidly changing backdrop, StyleCity Berlin spotlights the very best of the city, underground, in the open, and behind closed doors.
