I’m writing for one of Berlin’s best English-language Berlin websites, Slow Travel Berlin, for almost two years now. From a small niche-website dedicated to the spirit of slow travel it has become not only one of the best English-language online Berlin resources for travellers and Berliners alike, but also offers a wide selection of tours, workshops and events to help people engage with our city. We cover everything you won’t find in all the ‘20 Things To Do in Berlin’ on Huffpost, Buzzfeed and the Bild Zeitung. And now main man Paul and co-editors Marian and Giulia have worked with a number of our contributors to distill that spirit of discovery and wonder we (still) feel for Berlin every day into Slow Travel Berlin’s first book: 100 Favourite Places – which is available in print and e-versions and will be launched with a launch party next week. And in there you’ll find a small article about my favourite hidden watchtower with a photo by Kai Mülller a.k.a. Stylespion.

So come along and raise a glass with us next week and by all means buy a book. It’s a thing of (Berlin) love.
