Living in Germany

Things to do

Clichés such as folk dressed in lederhosen, enjoying several pints of beer and perhaps, nibbling on some sauerkraut paint an unfair picture of Germany. Aside from the traditional attire and cuisine on offer, Germany is a nation that depicts a willingness to sustain a high quality of life and an enthusiasm to be at the forefront of life-changing innovations and contributions - attributes which irrefutably help preserve its rich identity.

Places to eat

Despite the fact that Germany doesn't have a specific cuisine, its regions do have their own particular specialities. The fare is simple and most importantly, tasty; and no, it's not a diet rich in sauerkraut, sausages and beer - although that combination does sound oddly pleasing.

Shopping

Whatever it is that you're looking for, be it high-fashion to thrift, in vogue to old-fashioned, international to regional specialities, the shopping scene in Germany certainly caters for it. Dedicated shopping districts like Zeil in Frankfurt and a plethora of shopping centres that can be found in a majority of the cities and towns, allow you to shop until your heart's content.

Getting around

Getting from city to city in Germany is an utter breeze thanks to the seamless network of buses, trams, trains, and subways that are present in the major cities and towns.
