U Kienitzer Straße PRESS MEDIA KIT Richardplatz DON‘T RUN. JUST WALK. 1 JUST BERTA Berta Luise Heide is the publisher of the travel guides BertaBerlin, a travel blog- ger and marketer, and most notably a born resident of the German capital city. 2015, a trip to Milan, for which Ber- ta had to rummage through seemingly endless guides in an attempt to plan the perfect weekend, sparked an idea, and perhaps a solution to this dizzying pro- cess for tourists in Berlin: a minimalist guide, like a folding map for Berlin. Just a few months later, her first travel gui- de, BertaBerlin for the district Neukölln, was born. In her travel guides she discovers city walks all over Berlin and writes about its hidden gems and more on her blog www.walk-this-way.net. Her writing has been featured in Are we Europe, Tagesspiegel, Startupvalley, QIEZ, Travel Pulse, www.queer.de, The local and MitVergnügen. pics by Maria Dominika 2 CITY MAPS BertaBerlin are MINI Pocket Guides. off the beaten path in Tiergarten, select They are locally curated collections of shops on Potsdamer Street, and the Bo- secret spots and hidden gems crafted so ros Art Collection.
