    When moving to Berlin, it's difficult to choose the right area to move to, especially if you're new to the city and or Germany. Berlin is a massive city with 12 major districts and even more sub-districts. It doesn't always make sense just to move close to the new work place.

      I live in Friedrichshain and enjoy it. But as long as the apartment was close to S-Bahn/U-Bahn it wouldn't really matter and I wouldn't mind moving to Lichtenberg. They also have some nice places and if you want to get away just hop into U5 which, besides connecting to Alexanderplatz (U2, U8) soon will go all the way to Berlin Main Station (and more importantly, Brandenburger Tor, where you should be able to switch to S1/S2) and you can be basically any relevant place in Berlin within 45 minutes.
      Unless you're doing home office, I feel your workplace matters most for choosing where to live.

      here is a lot of misinformation about berlin, and where to live. Also this is the reason why you pay 2.000 euros for 40 square meters in pberg. Maybe if you are below 30 years old, is "vital" to be in a place where you can reach your social -life bar within 10m. But there are areas where quality of life is way better than the "turistic" areas within the ring. Most of foreigner do the mistake to consider only those , where they get scammed regoularly by ridiculous crappy apartments. Wansee, lichtenrade, rudow, altgliniecke , grünau, rahnsdorf, friedrichshagen, grünau to mention some, prices are (not cheap at all) but maybe 200 euros cheaper, but quality of life is x times better.

    Berlin has sooo much more to offer than hipster/party/Bavarian and young people oriented stuff. As someone who grew up here, lived in other countries and came back because home is home, I really miss the ordinary Berlin people living here for good. Don’t get me wrong: I love diversity, but somehow I’ve got the impression for the last 2-3 years, it is getting more and more lost among all the hipsters trying so hard to look different but in the end all look the same. And there are definitely great living and leisure areas outside the Ring, but why bother to explore those when many young people mostly come here to have maximum fun for a short period of time. As great and energetic this might be for a city on the one hand, it has its side effects on the other hand for the permanent residents... like rising housing prices, dirty streets etc. I wish Berlin would finally be seen for more than just a great party location(s).

    As a Berliner I must say "things do change over time".. before Unification the hippest area in West-Berlin was around Savigny Platz and Kantstraße, cause of the nearby University and High School of fine Arts. There was Hansa Studios right near the wall (Köthener Str.38), the only 16 track Studio in Europe, that is one reason why David Bowie lived here, but Iggy Pop, U2, Brian Eno, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Claw Boys Claw, Depeche Mode, Marillion, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Killing Joke, Boney M., Manic Street Preachers, R.E.M., Snow Patrol, Kent, Living Things, Go Go Berlin, last not least the Rolling Stones recorded here, the hippest Clubs were "The Dschungel" and "The Metropol" as well as at least a dozen others with more Bar-Style Character - and yes things change and keep changing - cheers!
    P.S: Maybe a Vid about Berlins amazing parks and green areas would attract attention.. Berlin is such a beautiful city, rich in culture and loads of parks and gardens, as well as forests, lakes, rivers!

    Districts outside of the ring are most of the time better connected to key spots in the city (Zoologischer Garten, Friedrichstraße, Alexanderplatz, you name it) than some districts inside of the ring (e.g. Moabit). So it's actually an urban legend that living inside of the ring is better for one's mobility.

      @Nicarand 3 роки тому +29

      100% true. I live in Reinickendorf, right next to the U8. I'm at the ring in like 5 minutes, Alex in 10. We got Spätis, living and food is still affordable and the bars and clubs in Wedding are close. But when I tell people that my flat is here, they either have no idea where it is or they look at me like I live in the middle of nowhere.
      I'm not complaining though. The obscurity of the place keeps the rent down.

I haven’t noticed much difference for food prices, but some of restaurants/cafes near U-Bahn don’t look good.

    Finde deine Videos absolute klasse! :) Sehr guter Humor - weiter so!

Selbst Spandau und Köpenick haben ein kleines Stadtzentrum und beherbergen viele Restauraunts, Bars, Cafés. Es gibt Kinos und Theater. Suburban ist - vor allem für das englischsprachige Publikum (an das du dich ja wahrscheinlich richtest), normalerweise Häuschen an Häuschen. Das geht in Berlin in vielen Teilen erst weeeeeeeeit nach dem Ring damit los. Sub-urban im amerikanischen Sinne ist doch in Berlin schon praktisch Königs-Wusterhausen ;-)

      They are not completely accurate but can be a good guide. As someone who moved recently and lived near to Alexanderplatz and now in the south of Reinickendorf, there isn’t much difference. Just be close to the public transport (U-bahn or S-bahn), check the area near to the apartment. It all depends on your preferred lifestyle and due to terrible German bureaucracy, you will have at least a month before you can legally rent an apartment :)

    As a big city, there is a district for every lifestyle. There are districts like Neuköln that are incredibly densely packed and urban, but there are also districts - or at least sub-districts like Buch and Buchholz - that remain open farmland. The diversity is staggering and people who can’t find a place where they feel at home in Berlin haven’t really looked.

    Most European cities seem to have ring around the inner city but the ring in London is the M25 which goes around the outside of the suburbs. There is a north circular route and south circular route further in which is featured on the Unfinished London playlist on the Jay Foreman channel. Cities on the coast have a dual carriageway road instead that bisects the north part of the city from the south part of the city if on the south coast. If on the west or east coast the road would separate the east side of the city from the west side.
