Berlin and Munich
Two major cities in Germany, about a 70 minute flight apart, or a five hour train ride apart, or a six hour car ride apart. Both highly influential, both cosmopolitan, both highly desired places to live and work due to an overall high standard of living.
In fact, my friend Willie from the channel KhAnubis actually moved from the United States to Berlin, and he loves it there. He loves it there so much he actually also just released a video all about Berlin over on his channel. Check it out when you’re done here, if you shall dare.
But hey Munich often is at the top of “most livable cities in the world” lists. So let’s compare these two rivals, starting with their similarities.
First of all, the population of the metropolitan areas of both is about the same. (B- 6.1 million, M- 6 million) However, in each city proper, Berlin has a lot more residents than Munich. (B-3.8 million, M- 1.5 million) Berlin also is MUCH bigger in actual area. It’s more spread out, yo.
Both are capitals! Ok, well Munich is just the capital of the German federal state of Bavaria, while Berlin is capital of ALL OF GERMANY. Oh, and it’s literally its own German federal state.
Both have some of the most prestigious universities on the planet and finest museums. Berlin has over 100.
Both have an oceanic climate, and get about the same amount of sunshine on average. However, Munich gets much more precipitation. (B- 515.2 mm, M- 944 mm) Berlin gets a bit colder in the winter, while Munich gets a bit warmer in the summer.
Public transportation is amazing in both cities, but is better in Berlin and yeah more expensive there, too. You’ll see lots of cyclists in both, as both have highly developed bike lane systems. Because both are in Germany, it’s quite legal and quite common to see folks out and about drinking alcohol.
Both have a stock exchange.
Residents of both are not that religious. In fact, around half of all Munich residents and 60% of all Berlin residents have no registered religious affiliation.
Both have hosted the Summer Olympics. Berlin, in 1936, and Munich, in 1972. That Olympics is sadly known for the Munich massacre, in which terrorists killed members of the Israeli Olympic team. The Berlin Olympics is sadly known as the one in which Hitler was in power and he was trying to promote racism and antisemitism at the games.
