Parking in Berlin has yet to reach the nightmare stage, but it’s an inconvenience. Neighbourhoods that require metered parking will also have exceptions for residents (you can get a permit at the Einwohnermeldeamt. Most Berliners rely on street parking, so expect a long search if you need a spot on Sunday night when everyone returns from the weekend. If you’re parking in a metered area, you’ll have to rely on coins because there are no monthly parking passes and machines still don’t accept the debit cards that seemingly every other vending machine in the city does.
