If you are American, I would say the closest comparison might be Washington DC.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere's the main city center that is very hustle and bustle, and very industrial. But there are still green spaces to be found in the city. Public transport is affordable and accessible and will need you to outside Burroughs that can be grungy, extremely gentrified, or somewhere in between. And of course, there are suburbs that can be like the countryside (Spandau). Generally, the city is extremely diverse and safe to visit for tourists.
