🇩🇪 Where to live in Berlin
Berlin's residential districts range from the historic centre around Museum Island to quiet green edges along the Spree. The eastern inner districts lean young and alternative, with clubs and street art in Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg, while the western side of the city holds more established, bourgeois streets in Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf. Between those poles sit family-oriented Prenzlauer Berg, diverse and shifting areas like Neukölln and Wedding, and calm green pockets such as Tiergarten and Treptow. Most of these areas sit within a five-minute walk of a rapid-transit station.
