For people in Germany: Where do you live and why would you recommend it to me?

Answer 1

I come from Stuttgart and I can recommend my town to everyone.
Stuttgart is situated in a valley and in the summertime it;s stunning when you drive down "Neue Weinsteige" (one of the main roads into the Citycentre) and you look onto the City with it's historic buildings and see the vine which is grown on the hills all around Stuttgart.

Stuttgart has been done up a lot for the Football Woldcup last year and has loads of historic sites to visit. Great restaurants, bars, good shopping (for the girls ;-) and not to forget - superfriendly people :-)

Stuttgart is also situated very ideally when you want to travel - for example to the Black Forrest, it's only 30mins away by car. I used to shopping to Strassbourg in France (1 1/2 hrs) and the Swiss border is also only 2 hrs away.

I think you can see that I love my hometown - *blink away tears in my eyes* Stuttgart rocks !!!!

Answer 2

I live near Moenchengladbach, 30km from Duesseldorf and 50 km from Koeln (Cologne). One of the delights of Germany is the fact that everything seems to work as it should - public transport, law and order, politeness and hospitality. Coming from the UK where none of the above applies, Germany is rather refreshing.

Oh yes, the autobahns are good fun too!

There are many beautiful and interesting places to visit, not just Bavaria but also the Northern coasts, Black Forest, Moesel area and so on. Accommodation is good anfd inexpensive, the food is basic but wholesome and the Germans, in the main, like the British (same bloodline after all).

I really think that a touring holiday of Germany is one of the best kept secrets of European tourism and as a place to live I find it provides an excellent quality of life. The only downside, in European terms, is the fact that it has a Northern European climate and I prefer the Med for this reason.

Why not try a longish visit and see what you think?

Answer 3

Well I don't live there now but I used to live in Dresden Germany for 2 years. It was great. It's a medium sized city with a lot of history but also lots of party places. You have a great mix. Food is exellent and people are nice. The Elbe River goes right through the city.

Answer 4

Hello,

I live in East Germany, Eisenach. I have also lived in Erfurt, Leipzig and Stralsund - and briefly in Frankfurt.

I would recommend these places - except for Frankfurt - which I didn't like.

The people are nice, though English is not widely spoken it has made me learn German quicker.

Eisenach has loads of history but not a big nightlife scene. Erfurt and Leipzig were brilliant to work and live in, they have a happy mixture of shopping, culture/sights and nightlife!

You definately should come to these places

Answer 5

I live in a small village near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in the foothills of the Alps. Here it´s safe and clean and comfortable and I can sit on my balcony and see the Alps! Can´t do that back home in Indiana! Even this small town has a train station and bus stop so I can get most anywhere I need/want to go. Munich is about 2 hours by train.

Answer 6

I live in Leipzig. I can recommend it because it has a bit of everything: Nice bars for every taste and other places for nights out (clubs and stuff), museums, history, culture, a beautiful lake for the hot days, nice shopping areas, you don't need a car (busses and trams), it has an airport...and it's quite cheap compared to other cities.

Answer 7

I lived in the town of Kempten (Allgäu region) for over 5 years, very near the Alps, easy travel to Switzerland (via Lindau on Lake Constance) and Austria.
Beautiful people, beautiful scenery,beautiful food and drink etc..etc..
