The essential guide for all international Berlin conquerors. Living in Berlin since 2008 New Yorker author Giulia Pines takes you by the hand and tells you what to expect as an expat. Her lively book gives the answers to every existential question regarding: history, official stuff, finding a place to live, learning German, getting around in the city, Berlin with children, work life, shopping, eating, culture, books, and other expat resources.
Page through it for inspiration. Lean it to assuage your worst fears and help fuel your dreams. Use it as a companion, but don’t assume that it possesses the power to dictate exactly what your experience of moving to Berlin will be.
