The least German of the big German cities, Berlin does not have any of the traditional clichés, like the quaint cobbled streets, the picture postcard town houses or the big men drinking huge jugs of beer. It is a very cosmopolitan and modern city, where everything is recycled in a vibrant atmosphere of contemporary culture and nightlife scene.
A trend-setting city, Berlin has “state of the art” design, art, fashion, architecture and music in a varied, young and constantly changing scene. The creative, innovative atmosphere is especially appealing to young people from all over the world, which makes for the 790,000 (23% of the total population) people under the age of 25 living in Berlin.
A 13th century city, Berlin is also considered “young” by European standards. Ethnic, cultural and religious diversity make for its pluralism. There isn’t such thing as “locals”, with more than 473,000 non-German citizens from 195 different countries currently residing in Berlin – over 113,000 of them with a Turkish background.
In spite of the urban density, life standards are high. The public transportation network is modern and extensive. Housing is reasonably priced and mostly high-end. Rivers and lakes surround the city, facilitating the underwater supply of drinking water. Furthermore, it is possible to swim, fish or practice outdoor sports in the city’s limits.
