I lived in HH for almost two years and you are right: in summer days it is amazing. How I miss the Alster in these times!

I'm from NYC and spent a semester in Berlin. I definitely miss it and wish I could move back!

This is great information! It's always interesting to hear different people's opinions on what certain cities are like and how they are viewed by the local population. You've caused me to think I need to do more research!

All German cities are recommended. Greetings from Munich!

If I had to rank these cities where I personally would prefer to live it would be like this: 1. Hamburg 2. Berlin 3. Munich 4. Cologne 5. Frankfurt

Düsseldorf is a very liveable City about 625.000 People live in this City. The old town and the Promenade along the Rhine River. The biggest Fun Fair /rheinkirmes is hold every year in Düsseldorf. The mediahafen and the Rheintower is worth a visit. Not far from Düsseldorf is the Neigbar City Neuss. The beautyful Quirinus Cathedral and Rheinparkcenter shopping center is worth a visit.

I have to say I stumbled across your page looking for costco reviews, and have been watching your videos every day. My wife is from Kaiserslautern (Rheinland-Pfalz) we met while I was stationed there a few years back. Thank you for the content, and keep it coming!

Cologne in my favourite city in Germany and it’s good place to have fun :) Greetings from Stockholm.

I can't believe I have only just now stumbled upon your channel. Awesome stuff guys!

Who can not be friendly to the two of you. Always enjoy your videos no matter what country. Thank you

Noch schöner, als in einer Metropole zu wohnen, ist es, in der Nähe einer solchen zu Hause zu sein. Ich bin aus Lüneburg, da ist es klein, charmant und beschaulich, und wenn ich möchte, brauche ich keine Stunde bis nach Hamburg :)

Hi. From all of the cities you too presented I find Hamburg the most attractive city for my. It has water, fish, is unique. I would like to know more about the northern german cities like Bremen, Lübeck, Rostock und so wieder... Vielen Dank!

Ahhh, seeing all the Köln footage is making me miss my trips to NRW! Only spent a few hours exploring Hamburg on my way back to the the west after visiting friends. Hope I'll be able to adventure through more of the country in the future 😊

Living next to Cologne, having been living in Frankfurt for about 10 years and travelling very often to the other 3 cities for business reasons, I have to state, that this review is spot on! 😊👍 Beside Oktoberfest the biggest city events throughout the year worth mentioning are "Hafengeburtstag" in Hamburg (first weekend in may), Berlin film festival (in february) & fashion week, Frankfurt's "Museumsuferfest" and... of course... Kölner Karneval (feb/mar) & CSD (first week in july). CSD is not only for the LGBTQ-community, but very welcomed in Cologne for beeing some kind of "carnival in summer". 😁

I just wanted to say that I have enjoyed your videos since I found your channel on here. I have always wanted to go to Germany. Watching your videos makes me want to visit more. I want to visit all 5 cities. Thank you for all your videos.

I have loved my visits to Germany. Your video is so informative. Thank you !!

Loved your portrait of Berlin

You guys are great you put on an interesting vlog thanks

You guys are amazing😍. I love your vibes

Ich habe genau dieselbe Erfahrung gemacht. Hamburger sind total nett und aufgeschlossen, insbesondere jene die etwas älter sind.

Countryside is still my paradise. 💓

I just discovered your channel, and I’m really enjoying your videos. Greetings from Dallas, Texas! I’ve been to Germany many times - Berlin and Munich are my favorite cities.

your videos are so fun to watch ;)

Tolles Video

Frankfurt on the Main isn't just that typical "city", where "business" runs, there is a lot of nature in the northern districts, that are most likely little villages (even it is still a city district of Frankfurt). It is just beautiful to ride your bike along the Main (river) that flows into the right tributary Nidda (river). Since 1993 the Nidda has been partially restored to its natural state and a bicycle path built along the river. For me is Frankfurt a little village, where every original Frankfurters knows their people. Sitting in Batschkapp or in a restaurant, drinking your 'Ebbelwoi' and eating your 'Handkäs mit Musik'.

Tolles Video!

Such a nice video.

It's crazy how I've only been living in Berlin for almost 6 months and I tend to forget how much larger it is in population compared to the other major German cities... You're definitely right about how there is a Kiez/neighborhood for everyone here

love this💖

damn, this video is a big hit sehr gut

Ihr habt in München das Olympiagelände und in Hamburg die größte Modelleisenbahnlandschaft der Welt vergessen ;) Und Köln, eine der ältesten Städte Deutschlands, gegründet von den Römern als Militärstützpunkt. Sonst ein super Video, ich verfolge Euch sehr gerne :)

Yes yes yes ..... I'm looking forward to Munich and the Oktoberfest and Deana in a "feschn Dirndl" :-)

Munich look so beautiful!

I have only been to Frankfurt airport (layover from San Francisco to Prague) but when I do make a trip to Germany, Hamburg is my #1. Can't wait until we can freely travel again. xo

I still have not visited Hamburg or Cologne yet. I traveled to Frankfurt because it was a jumping off point to Budapest. I did end up returning to Frankfurt for my return flight and spent a night there to experience the Christmas Market. I spent 5 days in Munich and its surrounding area including Salzburg and on a separate trip, spent 5 days in both the former west Berlin and east Berlin. I loved Berlin - can't wait to go back again.

As a Hamburg citizen who's been basically in every corner of Germany, I think the people in our city are very friendly and actually speak more than i.e. the average Munich citizen. Hamburg is also very multicultural and open minded. I think we got this reputation from the Schleswig-Holstein people, they're friendly but you need to understand them in order to recognize it really. Frankfurt is the place where a few of my family members were born and raised, I think it is a weird city because it's got the skyscrapers on the one hand but also a very beautiful old town on the other hand just next to the skyscrapers and I somehow like it. However the people of Frankfurt are mostly either rich workaholics or very poor. What I like about Berlin is that it basically is the what I'd call politically and historical capital of the world since you can really see that this city went through everything a city can go through in its history, really. It has some beautiful architecture, open minded and down-to-earth people and a lot of interesting lost places you can visit. Munich is not for me, though. Yes, the city itself has some beautiful architecture, I love BMW and beer (however, the real home of beer is the region Franconia), they have a lot of culture but I don't like their people. To me it seems like they think they were something better just because they're from Munich. Here in Hamburg we love to call bavarians 'northern austrians'

I love you both😃nice explanation 🤗

Also: Let us know which City is your favorite and why!

wunderbar i like your videos

I have visited 4 of the 5 cities on your list at least twice and I lived in München for a semester. Ich ❤️ München -- i mog Minga! I still need to visit Hamburg.

Love your content! It's been super helpful. We are heading to Leipzig in July/August and wondering if you have any recommendations for quieter, nature-connected neighborhoods with good transport links for accommodation? Any advice would be awesome! 🥰

100% accurate with great representative footage. :)

Munich by far is my favorite large city in Germany. When I was able to go there I just felt so safe and just felt like I was home.

Berlin is a great city to visit with many things to see for the tourist.

Good overview of each. Just reinforces my desire to stick to the small villages (Munich excepted of course). Not a big city fan.

Hamburg is definitely the most beautiful city in Germany.

i hope to visit all of them!

Appreciate video on Dusseldorf, Bonn, Hanover, Stuttgart, Leipzig.

Great video. I believe we have visited all the cities you mention, although Munich was about 40 years ago so we really should visit it again. Cologne was our least favourite and we did not find a lot that interested us to see, maybe that was because it was Monday and anything we wanted to go see was closed. Frankfurt was really really busy and we could not find anywhere to park even though there were parkades. There was a lot of construction going on so when we tried to go to places we were road blocked. We have family in Hamburg so we will always visit there and we love the Hamburg. It is clean, there is lots to see. We went to Berlin and really would like to go there again. We did not see everything we wanted to see so another trip is definitely in the plans.

I enjoyed it.

I hope we all can travel more and learn about different cities, countries etc.

Wow I Love it This Video

Supervideo! Sehr informativ, gute Texte, gute Bildzusammenstellungen von euren Reisen dorthin. Wirklich gelungen! Und inhaltlich stimme ich euch voll zu. Bei Köln hätte ihr noch den Karneval erwähnen können und dass es eine alte Römerstadt und von den genannten 5 Städten die älteste ist. Sehr viel Geschichtsträchtiges dort und gaanz viele romanische Kirchen, die neben dem Dom ebenfalls sehenswert sind. Und wenn schon 'gay' , dann weil der dort immer in vor-Corona-Zeiten eine riesige Christopher Street Day Parade stattfand. Weiteres Event, das gleich Millionen Leute anlockt: die Kölner Lichter. 😀 Übrigens: wie kann man nur Wolkenkratzer mögen? * grusel* Also ich bin froh und dankbar, dass wir außer in Frankfurt keine Skylines haben! Daher kommt es vielleicht, dass Berlin eine deutlich größere Fläche hat als andere Metropolen! Wir brauchen halt Platz! 😁

I've never been to Germany but I would love to go. I would love to see the "sights" on the Reeperban- It looks great on Y-tube. Did you visit the Pennymarkt? That place looks crazy

Nice Video! For a tourist coming to Germany for the first time and wanting to see world-class unique sites each day, I'd rank the cities like this: 1. Berlin ... (huge gap) .... 2. Munich 3. Hamburg 4. Cologne 5. Frankfurt For someone looking for a city to live in, it'll be: 1. Hamburg 2. Cologne 3. Berlin 4. Munich 5. Franfkfurt

You did the Ulmer Münster dirty with your remark on the size of the Kölner Dom :P

Well, now I want to visit all these cities because it looks so beautiful there😂

Frankfurt (am Main (on the Main river)) is also called Mainhattan. Hamburg, the city I fell in love with in 2003 and have been faithful since then. Beautiful parks, canals everywhere more than 4500 bridges (ie more than Venice, London, and Amsterdam together). Huge venues for music, as well as cozy little clubs offer music for any and every taste (once this damn pandemic is over). It is also the seat of the Robert Koch Institut, the RKI which continuously updates the numbers during the pandemic, and also one the world's foremost research centers on any new diseases as well cures for them. Museums, clubs, zoos, parks, theme park style rides during the four times a year Hamburger Dom fair. Also one of the main software centers in Germany. For me personally, Hamburg tops every other German city I have been to or even lived in.

Ihr seid so ein tolles und schönes paar.

I lived in West Berlin in 1985. I was able to make 5 trips into Communist held East Berlin. Having stood on both sides of the Brandenburg Gate (it was located in no man’s land), a long time goal of mine is to return to a united Berlin and walk through the Brandenburg Gate. However, I love München and Bavaria.

One thing you could mention about Munich is 30% of the population is foreign. You can hear dozens of different languages walking on the streets.

Cologne is great , a good place to live, But also many of the studios are in the middle neibhgour city Hürth . And Frankfurt, Munich and Hamburg are also great . But i have never visited Berlin. Sad you could not say everything about all cities But have you mentioned Karneval for cologne ?

Well, hello from Cologne 🙃💙

I have only flown in (and through) Frankfurt airport and did not take advantage of visiting that city nor any of the other four big cities. I was able to visit Stuttgart to see Porsche museum. Would definitely like to visit Germany.

We have Berliners in South Australia. One of my favourite foods. We have many German/ Prussian descendants here. Myself included.

We flew into Frankfurt, but stayed in Weisbaden, but toured Franfurt on Rein & Koln. That church was AMAZING, but couldn't go in....

Ich war bis jetzt nur in 3 Städten, nämlich Köln, Berlin & Hamburg und bin ehrlich, ich kann mich echt nicht entscheiden. Ich finde alle drei Städte sehr gut, aber wegen der Nähe würde ich Hamburg sagen.

Yay! My hometown Cologne! 😍❤️

I love all 5 of them. Impossible to say which one my favorite is... Berlin has a lot to offer though! :)

Hallo Leute! Thank you for this video! The only german city that I visited is Berlin, and I LOVED it! (And Frankfurt because I landed there ☺️) I'm actually looking at studying in Germany next year, so which city is the best for a foreign student in your opinion? What do you think about Göttingen? I look forward to receiving some opinions!

2. Franzbrötchen (cinamon-butter-croisants) are originated there, I believe. Fish. Very little beer bottles (Astra!). Und in Hamburg gibt es nur einen Verein St. Pauli!

Danke

Hamburg is so beautiful ❤️

Hamburg is my favorite city of Germany. It is my second house 🏠 I lived here :)

Another thing about Cologen (Koln) is that it is very close to Dussledorf which has a large Japanese Community.

CSD (Pride) in Cologne is a fantastic party - it's one of the biggest in Europe. Like you said, it's an open and liberal city. It has great energy, and is where I'd live if I were to move to Germany. Having lived in Aachen and Düsseldorf for a year each, I love NRW.

my favourite city is munich , try to get there twice a year , then my second is koln

My son is half-German...I went first time to FC ST PAULI and still support them after 2 decades....

I really enjoyed this video! Would love if you made a future video on other areas in Germany. I also wonder how Germany is for people who are not white, and am wondering experiences around that. As you are probably aware, that has been a huge issue in the US of late, and I am wondering how Germany compares. My cousin and her biracial family have recently relocated to Germany (military family) and it has been something that has been on my mind as she has two young children (4 & 7). Thank you for sharing your time with us.

I'm from a Saxon town and we visited Hamburg and Berlin with the whole class. For everyone who doesn't know: in Germany we have something called "Klassenfahrt" and it translates to school trip but it's not just for a day, a "Klassenfahrt" is going oln for usually 4-5 days. In Hamburg (in 8th grade) we saw a lot of cool indoor activities like the Humbug Dungeon and in Berlin (in 10th grade) we visited a lot of political and cultural things like the Reichstag. I liked both cities a lot but I wouldn't like to live there, I'm a town person '^^

So far I have been to 1, 3, 5, 7, and 14th cities in Germany... Berlin is my favourite so far... Hamburg (2), Leipzig (11), and Köln (4) are on my list...

I agree totally =)

Berlin has also a lot of trees and parks which makes it the most green city in Germany. (I think even Europe but I’m not sure)

So which one are you moving to?? 😃

Hamburg ! Hamburg hat nicht nur die meisten Brücken, sondern auch die meisten und höchsten Kirchtürme weltweit (dicht gefolgt von Lübeck). Viel grün und überall Wasser, nicht nur die Elbe, sondern auch die Alster auf der man wunderbar segeln und Tretbootfahren kann. Hamburger sind außerdem meistens sehr freundlich. Und die Innenstadt von Hamburg war deutlich weniger zerstört im 2. WK als die Innenstädte der anderen Städte. Am 2. Stelle kommt Leipzig, auch eine sehr schöne, gut erhaltene und freundliche Stadt.

I want to give a shoutout to my three favorite German cities which are all not in this video: Düsseldorf, Leipzig and Münster.

Cologne and Berlin reminds me of Melbourne and Frankfurt reminds me of Sydney!

Kann man auch mit den abitur auf einem berufskolleg mit wirtschaftlichem gymnasium in der USA studieren?? Oder muss das Abitur unbedingt vom Gymnasium sein?

Starkbierfest in March in Munich is MUCH MORE FUN 🍻👍😉

Love your^^

Hamburg has 1.9 million inhabitants and we are also rich 🥴

Many other nice Citys to explore :Bonn, Coblenz, Dresden, Neuss, Bremen, Oldenburg, Münster, Nürnberg, Wuppertal, Rostock, Lübeck, Wismar, Magdeburg, Potsdam, Freiburg and some more

Berliner here living in San Francisco, totally recommend anyone to visit Hamburg and Berlin, amazing cities. I believe anyone would love em, there is so much to do. Berliners might come across as cold to some but ones you break the 'wall' (LOL) they are some of the most kinda hearted helpful people. One of the things I miss in the US as a Berliner is the fact hat I can go out by myself and meet people I join to move around town for some bar and club hopping! DO IT! VISIT BERLIN, or Hamburg :). The others are fun to but those two are the best for fun without being richt (talking to you Munich :) )

I love Hamburg but Munich is the city I truly love. Hope to be back when this covid shit is over.

❤❤❤my fav is köln

great video 🙌 just one thing to mention: research shows that most of the millionairs in germany live in hamburg. I am living in berlin and love it for its open minded and multicultural people.

Very good video! But you really should have done 10 or 15 cities instead.

Which city would be best for studying as a college student? so far i like Cologne the most

Speyer.. nice flair, good restaurants, wounderful sightseeings (e.g. dome, aircraft tech museum) Lüneburg.. nice old city with the highest bar desity of germany Heidelberg.. only area around the castle/ old city though.. very nice shopping area. Bamberg.. nice weather, nice sightseeing, nice breweries and a lot of very nice hidden and peaceful places to relax. Hamburg.. green, big city and northern humor/ life style and as bonus: the habor and reperbahn of course. A very special mix.. 2nd to no one. I had been in Frankfurt (most of those that claim to love and live Frankfurt are not meaning Frankfurt, but the nice area around Frankfurt though (my 2 cents) Munich .. I can agree.. but you know.. to expensive and the city feels to scattered/ thorn apart a bit to make it into my top list Berlin.. you said it.. it's all at the same time.. not my world.. Have been there 3-4 times (as all the others as well) But for Berlin as for Frankfurt a visitor is in desperate need for a local tour guide to find the nicer places Cologne.. never had been there.. (except passing through)
