The population of Berlin is 3.9 million, but you'll feel like the only person in this sprawling city at times. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with long wait times and red tape galore. The weather is a mixed bag too - warm summers quickly give way to bitterly cold winters. Still, Berlin's vibrant arts and culture scene, booming job market, and wealth of green spaces make it an alluring destination for the adventurous.
