The neighborhood is also full of historical buildings and monuments such as Alexanderplatz or Museum Island. Charlottenburg – This area has many embassies in it, which makes it quite safe at night when most embassies are closed up tight! It also has lots of good restaurants, bars and shops if you feel like going out after dark. Prenzlauer Berg - This area is known as Kreuzberg’s little brother because it has similar characteristics with hipster cafés, bars and restaurants but without the high rents like in Kreuzberg or Mitte.

Question 3

Which flat in Berlin is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Are you looking for a small but nice 1-room flat in Berlin? 1-bedroom flatsare usually more expensive per square metre and hard to find, as there are many working singles in Berlin. The advantage, however, is that you have your own space and don't have to clean as much! The rule here is: less is more! However, it is easier to find a 2-room flat in Berlin. Especially for couples, such a 2-room apartment, which can be ideal. If you are still single, this can change quickly in Berlin. Or are you looking for a flat in a cheaper part of town so that you get more for your money? An alternative would be to get together with someone and get a shared flat - many flats are suitable to be shared and can thus become a bargain. In Berlin, it's normal to live in a flat share as both a professional and a student. The advantage is that you get to know new people right away.

If you need more space, have a family or want to move in with friends, a 3-bedroom flat in Berlin can be the best solution! If you share the flat with 1-2 friends, you can save money and make friends at the same time. If you are only looking for something short-term, a furnished flat in Berlin can always be the best choice for you. Especially as a freelancer or student, you stay flexible and don't have to spend money on furniture or understand IKEA instructions. And if you do fall in love with a piece of vintage furniture at one of Berlin's many flea markets, you can always rent an unfurnished flat to house your new treasures.

Question 4

What is the difference between “WG” and “Wohnung”?

Accepted Answer

The difference between WG and Wohnung is that WG means sharing an apartment, and “Wohnung” refers to an entire apartment.

WG is an economic renting type in Berlin. In fact, it does not mean that you will share only one room with other tenants but all the rooms in the house or flat are shared by you and your roommates. It is commonly used amongst students and young professionals just starting life.

Question 5

What is the average price of an apartment in Berlin?

Accepted Answer
