BKB Verlag’s guides to German cities are specially designed for business trips & short trips, aiming to show you the best of the city in just 3 days. Pocket-sized & printed with full-colour photos, the guides are broken down into 4 sections, one for each day & a final chapter on ‘services’. Each day section has been arranged like a diary, so that the sights are described in the order of a potential itinerary, making you get the most out of what you see. A small map precedes each day, showing the recommended route to take for the sights within the chapter; the maps themselves are very basic, & would be better used as a general overview of the area. The final section is over 20 pages of listings & descriptions of cafes, restaurants, local culture, hotels, museums, nightlife, shopping & more.PLEASE NOTE: the series is currently being revised
