Berlin - Prenzlauer Berg (PDF Chapter)

This is the Prenzlauer Berg chapter from Lonely Planet’s Berlin guidebook.

• maps
• spend a sunny Sunday digging for flea-market treasures and cheering on karaoke croon-ers in popular Mauerpark, reclaimed from a section of the Berlin Wall death strip
• transport

• restaurants & bars
