Berlin, Germany Tour: Europe Tourism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781715758608)

Berlin, Germany Tour. Europe Tourism, Vacation and Business Guide. Berlin's combo of glamour and grit is bound to mesmerise all those keen to explore its vibrant culture, cutting-edge architecture, fabulous food, intense parties and tangible history.
