Monocle magazine just ranked the city as the third most “liveable” city in the world, citing the openness of the German capital’s population, the interesting mix of independent and high-street shops, lively and varied nightlife, low crime rate, expansive green spaces, conducive business environment and (relatively) affordable housing.
