Nicht sprechen Deutche here.
Nor does it ever snow in San Francisco.
A LOT more Chinese and other Asian folks around here.
Men wearing lederhosen and other leather gear tend to be frowned upon, except around the Castro District
No matter how hard you look, from Berlin, you can't see the Golden Gate Bridge.
The cable cars and BART rail system do no not accept Deutshemarks.What are the differences between Berlin and San Francisco?
san fransisco is my favorite out of the two. spent time in both. the people are friendly in both. drinking and clubbing is cheaper and better in berlin but it depends what music your into.
i found san fran more scenic and beautiful.
i went to berlin in january. it was very picturesque especially with the snow! san fran in the summer is cool and not to hot but if you want head and sun then you have rest of California to play with!
there isn't much difference in eating out in both country's.
but i am not sure about the general cost of food in supermarkets!
hope this helps.What are the differences between Berlin and San Francisco?
I lived in San Francisco for several years and I have spent long holidays in Berlin (staying for a month or so each time). Both are internationally popular and you are apt to see a lot of people visiting from other countries.
For natural beauty I think SF has the edge. Such a dramatic site, it being a peninsula at the strategic meeting of California's fresh water and the ocean. (Almost all rivers in California drain into the Bay.) Berlin has a really nice park system with waterways.
SF is so close to mountains and forests if you like those, and in a short time you can be under towering redwoods for an uplifting natural experience.
I think Berlin is cleaner than SF and I have seen many more poor street people in SF.
Keep in mind that Berlin is the capital of Germany so that will factor in as far as its status historically and culturally. The art scene for both cities is quite good, with Berlin having an edge. It is a world city, after all.
The city trains in Berlin are an amazing network, with immaculate stations. It's like a well-tuned machine.
City buses in SF can be extremely crowded, depending on the route and time of day. When I lived there many times those buses would be packed beyond imagining. Berliners are usually more well behaved on public trans.
SF is a more tolerant city when it comes to putting up with goofy or just clueless "lost souls." You would see this on Haight Street (where small tribes of young "hippies" camp out on sidewalks and are always looking for handouts) and at Civic Center, location of the Asian Art Museum, City Hall and the nice public library (and homeless people).
Actually it is close to impossible to encapsulate either place in such a short space like this. There is so much to do in either place. One thing is is distinctly different about the two cities is that SF has a decidedly Asian influence, with a great Chinatown and lots of Chinese people.
