Jonzy's catalog estimates roughly $1,960/month all-in living costs in Berlin (about $1,100/mo for a mid-market one-bedroom), with safety scored 78/100, internet 82/100, and visa difficulty rated "Moderate". Anmeldung within 14 days: Germany legally requires you to register your address (Anmeldung) at the local Bürgeramt within 14 days. Without it you can't open a bank account, get a tax ID, or sign a phone contract. Book the appointment the moment you have a flat. Neukölln, Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain: Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg are now polished and pricey. Neukölln has the Turkish-bohemian energy; Kreuzberg the historic counterculture; Friedrichshain the techno warehouses. Wedding is the next genuinely affordable wave. For neighbourhood detail, cost breakdowns, and visa paths, see the full Berlin city guide.

Cash still rules: Kartenzahlung varies: A surprising number of Berlin restaurants and bars are cash-only, so always carry €30–50. ATMs at Sparkasse and Deutsche Bank are fee-free for their own cards. Card payment ("EC-Karte") is more common than credit.
