Have authentic experiences and see the cities through the eyes of the locals with Like a Local.

Keen to explore a different side of Berlin? Like a Local is the book for you.

This isn't your ordinary travel guide. You won't find the Reichstag Building or Charlottenburg Palace in these pages, because that's not where Berliners hang out. Instead, you'll meet the locals at bustling flea markets, carefree clubs, and peaceful urban gardens - and that's where this book takes you.

Turn the pages to discover:

  • The small businesses and community strongholds that add character to this vibrant city, recommended by true locals
  • 6 themed walking tours dedicated to specific experiences such as vintage shopping and cocktail history
  • A beautiful gift book for anyone seeking to explore Berlin
  • Helpful what3word addresses, so you can pinpoint all the listed sights
  • A thoughtfully updated second edition, including new places to visit

Compiled by three proud Berliners, and revised and updated for 2024, this stylish travel guide is packed with Berlin's best experiences and secret spots, handily categorised to suit your mood and needs.

Whether you're a restless Berliner on the hunt for a new hangout, or a visitor keen to discover a side you won't find in traditional guidebooks, Berlin Like A Local will give you all the inspiration you need.

About Like A Local:

These giftable and collectable guides from DK Eyewitness are compiled exclusively by locals. Whether they're born-and-bred or moved to study and never looked back, our experts shine a light on what it means to be a local - pride for their city, community spirit and local expertise. Like a Local will inspire readers to celebrate the secret as well as the iconic - just like the locals who call the city home.
