Tips for finding accommodation in Berlin
Thanks to the city's role as a cultural center and one of the up-and-coming economic centers of Europe, apartments in Berlin and, in particular, temporary furnished apartments are more in demand than ever. An endless stream of new startups, galleries, restaurants and shows means that the German capital is always welcoming new guests and residents. This is especially true for young Europeans in their 20s and 30s who love the city's relaxed yet productive atmosphere. Here is the Wunderflats guide to some Berlin neighborhoods.
Lives in Berlin-Mitte
The name "Mitte" means middle in German, and that's where you'll find this popular neighborhood. Located right in the heart of Berlin, Mitte is home to world-famous sights such as the Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island and the Bauhaus Museum. Mitte's 100,000+ residents would probably agree that it's a great place to live.
Berlin-Mitte district
Mitte is many things: Berlin's "Silicon Valley", historic center and vibrant nightlife district. A number of large global companies have their headquarters in the area, so Mitte will cater to professionals who need access to office space and conference facilities. But it also offers excellent shopping and restaurants and many nightclubs around Alexanderplatz. This neighborhood has an extremely broad appeal.
Rental prices in Berlin-Mitte
As the heart of the city, Mitte is generally a more expensive place to look for a furnished apartment, although there are affordable options away from the tourist areas. In general, expect to pay significantly more than other neighborhoods, as one-bedroom apartments range from €1,100 to €1,700 per month.
Resident in Berlin Charlottenburg
Located west of the city center and south of the River Spree, Charlottenburg is a popular choice for families and young people looking for easy access to the center but cheaper apartments in Berlin. Shopping, historical attractions, restaurants, and parks make it a great base for exploring the city.
Bezirk Berlin-Charlottenburg
Charlottenburg is a good place for those who enjoy parks and outdoor recreation. The eastern half of the area is dominated by the Tiergarten park, while the area is also home to the Berlin Zoo, many lively bars and restaurants, and the shopping paradise of Kurfürstendamm.
Rental prices Berlin-Charlottenburg
Expect short-term rentals to be slightly cheaper than central Berlin, with one-bedroom furnished apartments available for €950 to €1,450 per month.
Lives in Berlin-Kreuzberg
Kreuzberg is popular with students for its cheap short-term rentals and is south of the city center. It's a vibrant part of Berlin where the large Turkish population adds some flavor to the local dining options and a relaxed, bohemian atmosphere is the norm.
Berlin-Kreuzberg district
Kreuzberg is Berlin's current creative hub, with standout features such as quirky cafes, pop-up galleries, street art on every corner and the lively Turkish Market. Add in dynamic live music and nightlife, and it's easy to see why Kreuzberg attracts a young, culturally active crowd.
Rental prices Berlin-Kreuzberg
Relatively affordable furnished apartments are another draw for younger visitors. Calculate around 900 to 1,400 euros for a furnished one-room apartment.
Lives in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg
As Berlin's recent renaissance began, Prenzlauer Berg transformed into a young and diverse neighborhood with many cafes and art galleries. Located northeast of Mitte, it is known today as an environmentally friendly family area with excellent transport links and local amenities.
District of Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg
Properties in Prenzlauer Berg tend to have a high proportion of Wilhelmine designs (late 19th century), including some of the best rental apartments in Berlin. Great cafes and bookstores also make it attractive.
Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg rental prices
As Prenzlauer Berg drew more families and professionals, prices rose. Expect rental prices to be similar to those in the Mitte district, around €1,050 to €1,550 for a furnished 1-bedroom apartment.
Living in Berlin-Neukölln
Located south-east of the city center and relatively close to Schönefeld Airport, Neukölln is an up-and-coming district where new organic cafes open every week and the creative spirit is on the rise.
District Neukoelln in Berlin
For a long time, Neukölln was overlooked by apartment seekers in Berlin, but that is no longer the case. Its collection of restaurants from all over the world, the large new park in Tempelhof and the shopping scene with constantly new markets and boutiques make it popular with young professionals.
Berlin-Neukölln rental prices
Prices in Neukölln haven't quite caught up with the area's cultural rise yet, so it's still an affordable area. Expect one-bedroom furnished apartments to cost between €850 and €1,350 per month.
Living in Berlin
Berlin has everything you would expect from a state capital, from top-notch museums and an efficient public transport network to shops, markets and a vibrant arts scene. Here are some tips for getting started in the German capital.
Traffic in Berlin
Below are our tips for getting around in the city for the first few weeks.
Public transportation
Residents prefer to travel with Berlin's extensive rail network. Land services are operated byDeutsche Bahn (DB)but the subway, operated by the Berlin companyBVG, can be even more convenient as it reaches most of the central districts. Day tickets for all public transport costs €8.60 (including buses and trams) and 7-day tickets cost €34. Single journeys range from €1.90 for a short trip (up to 3 stops) to €3.60 – quite reasonable for a big city.
Taxi
Taxis are available in Berlin and are the most convenient but also more expensive way to get around. The basic rate is €3.90 plus €2 per kilometer. You can grab a taxi off the street if needed, but remember that short trips cost at least €5.
Tours in Berlin
Berlin has seen a lot of history, so it's not surprising that there are sights everywhere. Here are some highlights:
The Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburg Gate)
The Brandenburg Gate served as the entrance to Berlin under Prussian rule, later survived World War II and became a symbol of rebirth. It gained even more importance when the Berlin Wall fell and the gate became a symbol of German unity.
The TV tower
The needle-shaped television tower towers above Mitte. The summit offers unmissable 360-degree views of the city, as well as a restaurant made in heaven. Nowhere else in Berlin do you get a better view.
Checkpoint Charlie
Checkpoint Charlie was a famous crossing point for the Berlin Wall between 1961 and 1989 and now houses a memorable museum telling the story of the divided city.
O Reichstag
Reopened and rebuilt with the help of British architect Sir Norman Foster, the Reichstag is a magnificent testament to modern Germany. A visit to the roof terrace and a guided tour of the dome are highly recommended.
The Jewish memorial
No visit to Berlin is complete without spending some time contemplating the Jewish Peter Eisenman Memorial. The memorial's 2,711 concrete monoliths near the Brandenburg Gate are a reminder of the dark side of man.
Museum Island
Home to Babylon's famous Ishtar Gate, a beautiful bust of Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, an endless array of modern masterpieces and much more, Museum Island is an important museum collection in central Berlin.
KaDeWe
Berlin's flagship department store KaDeWe (short for Western Department Store) covers 60,000 square meters in Schöneberg. The luxurious perfume and shoe departments are celebrated, but the dining rooms on the 6th and 7th floors are the real highlight.
Die East-Side-Gallery
The East Side Gallery is an open-air art exhibition that spans 1.3 kilometers of the Berlin Wall. It opened in 1990 after artists took over part of the wall and created an improvised masterpiece.
