What is it like to live in Berlin? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

The city has something to offer for everyone. You just have to decide what you are up to. There are plenty of sights and you can explore the city by bike, by boat, by foot. There are nice lakes in the city center in the so called Tiergarten if you want to relax you can take a boat there or you do a tourist tour on the Spree river. There are several party districts, bars and clubs.
