Lonely Planet Berlin

Berlin is a scene-stealing, head-turning combo of glamour and grit, teeming with top museums and galleries, grand opera and guerrilla clubs, gourmet temples and ethnic snack shacks. Sleep? Forget about it! Instead discover why the Reichstag was wrapped in silver fabric for 14 days or dine in a secret restaurant where the host serves you supper in their own home. And if you really must sleep, try inside a kaleidoscope, prison cell or coffin at Berlin’s most unusual hotel.
