100 FAVOURITE PLACES

WARNING: NOT A CONVENTIONAL GUIDEBOOK!

Welcome to our favourite places! Instead of just highlighting Berlin’s hippest ‘hotspots’, we’ve taken a more considered and personal approach to bring you 100 special places, many of which would go unmentioned in a conventional guide. While we’ve included recommendations on cafés and restaurants, museums and monuments, parks and architecture, we’ve tried to resist the temptation to compress the city into a set of catchy soundbites and glossy venues in favour of giving each place room to breathe and shine.

As long-term residents of Berlin, we’re still very much in thrall to this fascinating city. We aim to share our enthusiasm by providing a charming and inspirational city companion for visitors and residents alike. Our favourite places have been hand-picked by core members of the Slow Travel Berlin team and reflect our overall ethos of slow, sustainable travel: taking time to explore the fringes of the city, discovering lesser-known delights and supporting smaller, independent businesses.

We’ve written each profile from first-hand experience and taken our own photographs. We’ve designed the book ourselves and worked with a local illustrator to create hand-drawn maps, all with the aim of generating a unique, intimate view of the city. And, to echo Berlin itself, we’ve eschewed a predictable ordering scheme in favour of offering unexpected juxtapositions. Each turn of the page will reveal a new surprise; we hope you’ll enjoy our favourite places as much as we do.

How To Use This e-Book

This ebook is the interactive complementary version of our printed book. To use it best, we have created a system where you can click directly on any map reference (located at the bottom of each place profile) and be taken to the corresponding map. Similarly, clicking on the place names associated with the maps will take you directly to that place profile. This means that you can use the map during walks around the city to see which of our places might be nearby, and easily and directly find more specific information about them. Of course, you can also use the "search" function to look for specific place names or keywords.
