You can choose any bank. Important criteria when selecting a bank (close to home, no charge for card, small commission for international wire transfers etc).
To open your bank account, you require
– your passport

If you are a citizen of a country that is not part of the European Union, you will have to deposit a minimum amount of 2500 Euros to prove you have sufficient funds when applying for your residence permit. After deposting this money, ask for a bank statement which reflects these funds and keep that statement safe as you will require it later for when applying for your temporary residence permit at foreign affairs.
