Description
From the historic to the hip, Berlin is a city of palpable creative energy with a healthy dose of cultural relevance.
This is a city in perpetual flux and its ability to reinvent itself can be attributed to its complex history. Today there's a seductive allure to the German capital's dynamism and willingness to create anew. Be it a luxury hotel in an old bathhouse, experimental artwork in a former margarine factory or an ever-evolving roster of musicians and designers, the city thrums with diversity and ingenuity.
The Monocle Travel Guide to Berlin will take you to our favourite pockets of independent retail and the best places to eat and drink, whether you're after a venerated dining room or a hidden cocktail bar. We'll lead you through the mix of envelope-pushing art hubs and didactic museums. And then there's our round-up of the architectural landmarks that reveals the narrative of this once-divided city.
Berlin is about more than nightclubs and hammering hangovers - although a night on the tiles here still rarely disappoints. We guarantee that this guide will show that there's plenty more to discover.

Today, Monocle is a complete, media brand with a suite of travel guides under its belt, a 24-hour radio station, a film-rich website, retail ventures around the globe, and cafés in Tokyo and London. Besides their London HQ they have seven international bureaux in New York, Toronto, Istanbul, Singapore, Tokyo, Zurich, and Hong Kong. At their core is the simple belief that there will always be a place for a print brand that is committed to telling fresh stories and sending photographers on assignments.
