Let Secret Berlin guide you around the unusual and unfamiliar. Step
off the beaten track with this fascinating Berlin guide book and
let our local experts show you the well-hidden treasures of this
fascinating city. Ideal for local inhabitants, curious visitors and
armchair travellers alike. Wander around the hotel lobby where a
glass floor reveals excavations of the old medieval town; take a
seat in an amphitheatre where animal dissections once took place;
let yourself be moved by the sounds of the largest pipe organ,
still used today to bring silent films to life; take a break in one
of the few well-preserved Baroque vaults housing coffins fitted
with windows; climb onto a bunker that contained anti-aircraft guns
during the Second World War and accept a Russian soldier's
invitation to admire it from within; take a dip in one of the most
beautiful bathing spots built during Europe's Art Nouveau movement;
enjoy a stroll under the Spree river; go see the very first
computer (designed by a Berliner) or the first synthesizer of East
Germany; scale the mountain of rubble where a Skiing World Cup race
was held; station yourself at the peak of the artificial hill where
aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal made his first attempts at flight;
and grab a bite on the island in the Havel river where Werner von
Braun launched his first rocket. Absent from the usual "must-see"
lists despite residing in the heart of the bustling capital,
fascinating historical treasures can be found all over Berlin's
city centre and its large surrounding neighbourhoods. Take another
look and discover the hidden gems eluding those who think they know
Berlin inside out.
