Visit Berlin - 5 Things You Will Love & Hate about Berlin, Germany

[@embuetschee]

"Berliner Schnauze" doesn't mean that berliner are arrogant, it means they will speak their mind wether you like it or not. they might come across as rude, but they are just too honest to be overly polite. ( all of that is way too simplified, but you get the idea) being the daughter of a Berliner, i really loved the video

[@D_Marrenalv]

Berliners are very much like New Yorkers then, so we get you.

[@queenmaoasada8447]

NYer79 Fuck, seriously? I'm a Manhattan native and I'm trying to flee to Berlin 'cause I hate my hometown so damn much... Also, Trump.

[@embuetschee]

Jules Mekler Well then go there, Berlin is awesome!

[@olllloollllo]

Go fuck yourself embuetshee. That means I don't care what is on your mind bitch.

[@borisbos2672]

D Marrenal Not really I’ve been to New York and the people there are kinda overly polite

[@youpumpertube]

I was in Berlin for a week and I think it is FANTASTIQUE!!!!! The city has an unruly and vibrant feel! There were so many places to explore. I was told time and again about how ugly the city would be. Such nonsense. It's not beautiful like Paris, but the new buildings are still not as UGLY as the ones coming up all over 'merica (the ones that seem like the contractors designed them, not an architect). The Turkish immigrants were even cool and their food is delicious. The Germans themselves were the nicest people! Everyone spoke English and all were so willing to help if you needed something. TWO different people went into their phones for almost 25 minutes to help me, respectively. I LOVE BERLIN and Berliners!

[@woltersworld]

+youpumpertube i love berlin. i lived there for two and a half years and love going back anytime i can. all the best on your travels!

[@DavidByrne85]

+youpumpertube i was there last week and loved it too. The 'ugly' stuff is part of what makes it more interesting than Paris, imo.

[@threegsster]

+woltersworld you only go back for the chicks right?

[@fatihachalabi1750]

i was in Mannheim and i experienced the same kindness a young man searched in his phone for a long time to help me find the gate in the train station .

[@MessianicFollowship86]

my best friend is native to Berlin and the city is my second home, regarding their culture it is second to none, I'm ex British army and I've been around the world and the German culture is clean and respectful, and due respect I don't like your video.

[@omegavalerius]

Berliner Schnauze means the dialect, directness and some time coarse humor all loosely connected into a way of being a Berliner. I've never had the feeling Berliners look at other people down their noses, I'd say the Bavarians are more likely to look at the other Bundesländer down their noses. Then again I'm half Berliner so.

[@brunoir283]

that's just what i thought. actually berliners are the exact opposite of being vain and stuck-up.

[@pduffylaw]

[@huibuh6939]

Hey Walter, the Berliner schnauze is not because Berliner are arrogant or selfish. Its our normal behaviour. I know that people think its unfriendly and make them feel like an idiot but dont worry most of us are very friendly. ;)

[@hittingtax2670]

It’s Mark.

[@BenjaminStaern]

And cute ! Met many people in restaurants that were sweet.

[@JohnThelin]

I don't mind any of the five "hates". But come on on, there are all of FIVE KFCs in all of Berlin (and at least the Mitte one is really good, which is not a given). For a a town that size, that's hardy selling out. You did note that it's easy to get over them, though, so I'll get over it. ;) (psst: begg_a_rs) Good clip, though. I'll be posting it to my Berlin blog sometime next week.

[@jamesfarrell8339]

When I visited Europe back in 1987 Berlin was one of my favorite cities to visit! Wonderful museums and wide open parks with a vibe that was different from any other city in Europe. A lot has changed since I was last here but it must be more amazing now that the wall has come down. Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey U S A

[@MyrianeHuard]

You make me miss Berlin for all the reasons you are mentioning in your video, it's soooo true! But i disagree with #4 for the beggers and scams ...i'm quite surprised to hear (if you compare to Montreal, here it is happening everyday lol). If we can add a point, as a woman i've felt very safe walking alone in Berlin.

[@notbobmccarthy4418]

An excellent summary of meine Leiblingsstadt for first timers. Me? I've been 13 times in the last 8 years and I adore the place. I even felt assured by my treatment by the police (I was robbed of my wallet last year) and the hospital system (I collapsed through heat exhaustion this year)! Even despite the few bad times I've had, they have been way more than made up for by the fantastic times I've had.

[@danejohnson4579]

Berlin is A-MAAAAA-ZING!! I love Germany....viele Grüße aus Holland

[@sherry986]

Great video! I am from London will be moving to Berlin in a few months for a year and this video has really geared me up for Berlin!

[@sherry986]

***** I've been here for 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it! How long are you in Berlin for?

[@micahphilson]

I'll be studying there next semester, so Wolter's World popped up on my sidebar and now I can't stop watching his videos! But he does have some great information to help me get ready to live there for a few months next year. From America, by the way.

[@wolffalm]

I'm from Berlin and I lived in Hamburg for 8 years and I feel like people in Hamburg are the ones with their noses up and Berliners are very open and direct. It's not that we're arrogant or unfriendly, we're just true. You have to react just as rough and you will earn a smile and maybe we'll be friends. That's part of our humor and it's also useful for testing if people are cool (And it keeps annoying tourists away, cause we don't like tourists). Of course you will meet people who are just unfriendly or have a bad, stressful day, but these people are everywhere you go in the world. I actually like about Berlin that it is very multicultural, bc there's anything everywhere and that is very useful if you live here. Btw, Berliner Schnauze is just the name for our dialect.

[@Whatsth3b1g1d3a]

It's funny, my dad went on business to Germany and told me that exact experience. He said when he went to Hamburg that the airport was gross and old but the people were stuck up and thought it was amazing.

[@dansimmons21]

+vom Mond Als Engländer in Berlin fand ick die Mundart und die 'Unhöfflichkeit' am Anfang schwierig, weil die Engländer so höfflich sind. Aber du hast recht, dass die Berliner eigentlich nur echter sind. Sie sagen was sie denken, und man musst sich so reagieren. Echt und kein Bullshit. Dann ist allet jut, weeste?

[@samuliilill541]

so you hate me too because i come to berlin every year

[@ronaldschultenover7591]

Berliners do think they are important. I think it too bad it was not nuked in 1945, but it is never too late. Germans hate Berlin

[@wolffalm]

I don't hate anyone. It's just annoying in some situations.

[@henning4379]

Have you ever been in Hamburg, Bremen or Köln? These are some amazing german cities too, there you can learn pretty much about history and the people there will be nice to you :-) !

[@OwenMccreesh]

[@PotSmokeGuy]

I was in Berlin this summer and loved it. Lots of different vibes in the different parts of the city. I thought the people had a pretty relaxed attitude about life in general. I'm definitely going back. I can to relate to the "Berliner Schnauze", as the rest of Canada seems to feel the same about Toronto, even though Toronto is very friendly and most Canadians have never been here.

[@user-xf7vl2xj5v]

This video has got me so inspired and pumped. I wan't to live in Berlin ! Great content as usual Wolter !

[@micahphilson]

Next semester, I'll be studying there and I can't wait! I stumbled upon Wolter's World on my sidebar and now I can't stop watching! I'm so glad I did, because he's had so much great information to prepare me for moving there and what to expect!

[@kngmidas8332]

This guy is amazing

[@arndsan]

Berliner Schnauze is not so much about arrogance but about been very direct. just be very direct back, and you will earn a smile : )

[@Mancini234]

I thought Berliner Schnauze was about being an idiot publicly.

[@jessicagiese3428]

Thanks for the video. It helped me decide to study abroad in Berlin rather than Salzburg. Only downside is I would like to improve my German more while I'm there, but it sounds like I'll be hearing a lot of English :D

[@BFD15i]

It's really not that "extrem". Mostly you will hear german. Well, the berlin-dialect, at least, which often is not on the correct side of german grammar.. But Berlin is very multi-cultural, so you are able to learn a whole lot of languages, if you want to. ;)

[@CMIYCBerlin]

woltersworld I'm travelling now for 2 Years all over the world, but i was born and raised in Berlin and lived there 20 Years of my life. And now after 2 Years travelling i watched your Video and heared you talking about my City. I nearly cried when i heared what you say, you're damn right. Now everything i wanna do is go back. Maybe i will see then back in Berlin.

Found that the Germans in Berlin was much less arrogant than the French , better food than the British , and a great city to be a tourist in . Just had a great experience , the angry ones came from Iran ...Great Doener kebabs at Max and Moritz ( Recommended ) , good people.I say some people will help you , but not all , and that you will find anywhere as a tourist , wanna see something special ? Go to Berlin.

[@leefrancis4565]

Anywhere is better than Paris, France.

[@D_Marrenalv]

"Sold to capitalism", understood as "sold to *american* capitalism". So sad for Berlin.

[@luuchoo93]

D Marrenal Do I need to remind you that American capitalism allowed Germany to become a unified rich modern economy? Eastern Germany got impoverished and oppressed under communism, and is behind the west part of the country to this day

[@garykozlowski9712]

Thank you for this video. You were spot on. I personally found that bicycles are the way to go instead of public transport (although I see from your video it was winter there and that may not have been the best option at the time). Well done! :)

[@woltersworld]

true, the flatness does make biking really easy there. thanks for the add!

[@katygraham2768]

I love your enthusiasm for this city! I'm heading to Berlin myself for the first time in the summer and you're video has really got me looking forward to it! :)

[@timmytubede]

You forgot to mention excellent public transport in Berlin. Especially if you are from the US you will notice the difference. Most U-Bahn lines run every 5 mins throughout the day and even more often in rushhour. Nothing more to say, U-Bahn will work at any time. S-Bahn is known to be very unreliable but it will bring you to the target most of the time. But waiting times from one train to the next can be VERY different. So sometimes you only have to wait 2 minutes from one train to the next and another time it's more like 15 minutes. (I'm talking about 7:30 am through the week on Berlin's "S-Bahn-Ring" (circle line) here. Other lines going far out to the suburbs are more reliable.) The buses will take you everywhere, where U-Bahn and S-Bahn do not go. "M" (metro) buses run every 5 mins in the center and every 10 mins if you are far out. "X" (express) buses will be quicker if you have a long distance to cover as they only stop at the important stops. Normal bus lines without a letter infront of them will run every 10-20 minutes depending on how important they are (This does not apply to line numbers over 300, these will be rare to see as they only run every 40 mins or even more infrequent) The tram is the equivalent to the bus in the east of Berlin (and on one or two lines in the "Wedding" district). These will also have an "M" if they are important and run more frequently. If you need a toilet and have a train ticket the easiest way is to just ride one station in a "Regionalbahn" these are indicated with "RE" or "RB" infront of the number and will 95% have a toilet on board. All the regional trains are included in the "VBB-Tarif". That means if you have any train ticket for the Berlin zones (Berlin AB) you can use ALL public transport except for long distance trains like ICE. You can also get these tickets everywhere in Berlin and Brandenburg. Even the bus drivers on the countryside could print a month ticket for Berlin (I wouldn't recommend this though, Brandenburg bus drivers are generally not that friendly to foreign people ... and they are not that capable in general) But just stay in Berlin, you wont find anything of interest in Brandenburg anyway. There actually are a few ferry lines in Berlin, but I don't remember using them. (They are included in "VBB-Tarif") There are 3 Berlin zones for public transport. A, B and C. You can only get tickets for them as AB, BC or ABC. A is everything in the center of Berlin, like the Alexanderplatz, Ku'damm or Potsdamer Platz. Everything thats outside of the S-Bahn circle line but still inside the city borders of Berlin is zone B. The Olympiastadium, the Wannsee, Tegel airport or idk maybe the Tierpark are in that zone. (Tierpark translates into animal park, but this is not the same as the more popular zoo from Zoologischer Garten - that one would be in the A zone near Ku'damm. So there is two zoos in Berlin, keep that in mind) Then outside of Berlin starts the C zone. Here is the Schönefeld airport. the city of Potsdam is also Berlin zone C. Be careful as Potsdam has its own ABC zones, so look sharp when buying your tickets. C zone is just a small ring around berlin. It does not allow you to travel in whole Brandenburg. That would be an extra ticket then. Remember to validate your ticket if it says so. There will be "Entwerter" for that purpose in every bus, every U-Bahnhof and every other train station. For information on route planning visit www.bvg.de/ or install the app "Öffi" on your phone and select BVG in the beginning if you have a mobile internet connection here. I hope this will help you with visiting Berlin. Have a nice time here!

[@technoshock11]

Hate #1 : With such efficient public transport, I don't mind it much, if at all. Hate #2 : Agree 100%. This is the exact reason why I enjoyed Bavaria and Austria more, it felt more "local". Hate #3 : Agreed again. Hate #4 : Indeed, "for a German city". There ARE a few beggars/scammers in Berlin, but still FAR LESS than in Paris, Rome or Barcelona. Hate #5 : This happens all over the world, not just in Berlin. About the loves, I agree with all of them except #1. Germanic history is not just about WW2 and the East/West times, which is mostly what you get to see in Berlin.

[@Grodluk666]

Berliner Schnauze, has nothing to do with being arrogant. Good, video, but you got that totally wrong.

[@Sasukemutsashi]

I am planning a trip to Europe in winter with some friends and i decided to add Berlin, there is something that i like of this city and i am not sure what is

[@swunt10]

berliner schnautze is something else. it's about being direct. it's about the dialect in berlin. it's about being rude and honest, but in a cosy way. making jokes that are typical for berliner. it's not about snobs and newly rich people.

[@woltersworld]

that is what I meant. I guess it came across wrong in the video. sorry

What I love about Berlin is that it is two cities in one. You have the west side and east side. Two different style of architecture and feel. Berlin zoo is interesting. It's like time traveling back to the 50's when animals were displayed in cages. It was sad to see a Bald Eagle stuck on a small perch. Almost made me cry.

[@symphom]

So I lived in Germany for half a year (Northwest), so whenever I visited Berlin I found that Berliners are the friendliest and most open-minded people in Germany. I love the city, not because of its appereance since it's not that special compared to other German cities, but the culture there is so inspiring since the place is filled with art and creativity, also, you really get that feeling that you are like at home since its very international, and, believe me, feeling included as an Ausländer in Germany is a big deal, specially since Germans, polite and nice as they are, are very hermetical people so it's pretty difficult to enter their society even when you speak German decently. However, in Berlin, that's super different, Berlin is all about peace and acceptance and freedom. So, give Berlin a shot, sure, there's a lot of drugs, beggars and pollution and some parts in Berlin are genuinely ugly, but you won't regret your visit.

[@timmyzg13]

I was in Berlin in time of East and West Germany, and all I can say that i have all good memories about that time, although the difference was enormous. I'm from Zagreb, Croatia, and in that time it was Yugoslavia, which had somewhat remembrance ti East Berlin. Museums, U-ban, restaurants, Under den Linden avenue, Brandenburg door...Most memorable thing about E.B. was Russian guard change at Memorial to the Victims of Fascism and Militarism. I remember W.B. for all the lights, shopping malls, Charlie check point, all-round difference with E.B. After reunion of Germany i was few times in Frankfurt, and all i can say is that i like Berlin more. Ich bin ein Berliner :)

[@stephaniemartinez6325]

Any advice on taking public transportation? My husband and I are going for out anniversary and would prefer not spending so much money on taxies.

[@mathilda163]

Stephanie - as Wolter mentioned the city is pretty big so using the public transport is def the easiest and cheapest way to go around. For normal travelling within the city you need to by an AB tarif (one way, valid 2 hour, just one direction for 2.60 Euro, an AB-day-ticket valid 24 h - all directions, 6.70 Euro or an AB-week ticket for 28,80 Euro). With these tickets you can use all Tubes (S-Bahn, U-Bahn), busses and tram. You'll find further information here www.bvg.de/index.php/en/index.html. Have a nice trip

[@JawaharChhoda]

Berlin is one of the most interesting cities I have been to. Such history and yet so modern. I walked and walked and walked thus exploring the city by foot and imbibing its electrifying ambience.

Berlin was always a cool place, I used to visit back in the early 80s and the west was good for clubbing, drinking good beer and shopping. East was good for shopping and seeing just how bad the commies had it and to buy stuff cheap. The east looks much better now.

[@uncleangus]

You know, one of your five hates actually struck me for the opposite reason. I actually think compared to many big cities in Europe such as London or Vienna or Budapest there are LESS multinational fast food places around. I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of McDonald's and KFC's there and instead there are tons and tons of excellent independent places. Still, there are more than there used to be and number will only go in one direction but yeah old school Berlin is still alive and kicking for the most part.

[@goldfish2379]

Also, what's wrong with Berlin being cosmopolitan? Did you expect them to wear lederhosen?

You should mention that everything you talk about, is about the inner Berlin, if you visit Mariendorf or Rudow, you can also see many old houses and there are also no starbucks and no beggars

[@Lord13289]

I like how in this one you mention the international, cosmopolitan feel and not just the traditional stuff. I know you mentioned it in the hates section instead of the loves, but I've always thought too many people travel to see the old and never the new. The new cosmopolitan feel is not necessarily the same in every city IMO, even with all those mcdonalds. Every international city has its own patchwork of communities of immigrants (though even some globalized places, like Tokyo, are far more homogenous), and different international cities are known for different "localized" takes on international cuisines (London with its Indian food for example).

[@Lord13289]

Sorry to go on a rant, but I especially don't like when I hear about tourists going to Asian countries expecting everything to feel like shogun era Japan, and being surprised when they find that it's mostly modernized (Not necessarily the same as westernized). That's like going to America and expecting everything to feel like colonial times or cowboy times. Countries change.

[@markcarey8426]

GreatJoFo I totally agree with you about using the term 'modernised' over 'westernised'. One of the biggest blunders of western media. I'm sure it must be aggravating to many of those not in the West who want to modernise but do not wish to be 'westernised'. Great vid, BTW. Thanks.

As a german not living in berlin but going there at least 4 times a month I can ensure you it's not cheap, it really is not. Even if your stay is cheaper compared to munich/hamburg it still doesn't make it cheap.

[@LuyZOnE]

You have to look at the scale. It's cheaper than any other major German city (as you said yourself) and definitely way cheaper than any other European capital! So yeah, there may be towns in Germany where it's cheaper, of course. But then again, a tiny village in Iowa is chaper than NYC as well ;)

[@Neinmann2010]

#2. Yes , it is a very iternational , not at all typical german-like city ...there is NOTHING bad about that! #3. Yeah , there are fast food chains , but less then in other big cities #4.

I loved it, plenty of great rustic places to eat and drink,cool architecture and museums, the people are quite friendly and i actually met a lot of Americans around town (Probably because americans think of lederhosen and oktoberfest when we think of germany). They put butter on like everything. I know a good amount of german however some people speak bayerische. For the most part younger people do speak english and it is always appreciated to attempt to speak to people in their native tongue (especially when YOU are the foreigner). The beer is amazing, definitely visit the hofbräuhaus. Grüß Gott!

[@twimanea]

Thank you so much for making this video. I'm going over the summer and have started planing on what I'm doing with my down time from classes. What would you recommend for people who love history. Would you recommend staring with the new part first then go to the past or go from the past to now. Also what is your favorite place to eat that is a German favorite and not like Starbucks or something like that.

[@glitterking]

Great, I`m from Berlin!

[@TheKingofNeptune]

I once met a German exchange student. He was friendly at first, but then he started to get annoyed by all the questions I was asking him, and I never even brought up any politics! I just couldn't help myself, but I love meeting foreign people so much, that I scare them away xD

[@dru1894]

Have you thought of travelling yourself? That helps a lot and the quality of questions you ask will also increase.

[@TheKingofNeptune]

I have traveled a bit a while ago, but I was more on the beaches and the tourist trap areas. Your right though, it would rly help if I mingled with the locals and focused more on the society of the country that I visit.

[@dru1894]

Yeah, people hate to be hit with stereotypes repeatedly. At least if you've visited their country for example, you will have more to talk about. I guess it's just using tact. Also I agree, talking to locals can be extremely rewarding and they're usually friendly in my experience.
