1. The diversity of the neighborhoods, with their very different characters and histories, and the dynamic way they keep changing (urban gentrification, shifting social milieu)
2. Very rich nightlife, with something for every age and subculture
3. The retro bars of the Mitte, the alternative vibe in Kreuzberg and Schöneberg
4. The well-organized public transport system (S-Bahn, U-Bahn)
5. Everything is permeated by the past of the divided Berlin and the dynamic progress of the last few decades – tasteful modern architecture, creative urban planning
6. A lot of likable, intelligent, unpretentious locals
7. The Trabi-Safari was fun
8. Bike-friendly city
9. Taking the 68 tram from Köpenick S-Bahn station to the picturesque village of Alt-Schmöckwitz
10. The modern, fancy Treptower Park
1. Many dull streets with grey houses built in the fifties and sixties
2. Most graffiti are far from being street art
3. The winter in Berlin is cold, grey and unfriendly
4. Berlin does not have a truly romantic downtown (because of the destruction of the war)
5. The 20th-century history of Berlin is captivating, but also heartbreaking
6. The Olympic Village is boring, a waste of time
7. It is not an instantly likeable place - you need time to take the positive impressions in
8. Berlin is pretty flat – no hills, no mountains, monotonous topography
9. Dog poop everywhere
10. The street musicians on the U-Bahn and S-Bahn trains are way too loud
