I agree.

I've been to berlin about five times and I've never used a car or taxi. I'm not afraid of walking so I walk to the hotel from a public transport stop, most I've experienced is around 2 km.

While there I find riding a bike a superior means of transportation. You can even rent electric ones and Berlin is _flat_. Also the public transportation works well. I've not been to Rhine-Ruhr area but down south around München it's not so good but still passable, I didn't need a car there either. It was a bit slow though when going far like München - Erding.

Amsterdam is pretty good although I wish the trams would run a little longer in the night. There are always buses and rickshaws though.

London I wouldn't even dare to drive, they do it on the wrong side! But I've never needed a car there either.
