Where to move to in Germany after Brexit
Thinking of undertaking removals to Germany after brexit? Find out which are the best cities in Germany to live in when it comes to quality of life.
The people living in Germany enjoy the highest quality of life not just in Europe but in the entire world, with seven German cities ranked in the world’s top 30 for quality of living – and three of those (Munich, Dusseldorf and Frankfurt) were in the top 10. German cities scored even higher in terms of infrastructure – quality of public transportation, traffic congestion and airport effectiveness – with four in the top 10 places.
Removals to Berlin
Much of Berlin was destroyed in the Second World War, and later, after the reunification of East and West Germany, there has been much rebuilding. The city is very green, with parks, forests, lakes and rivers covering an amazing third of the city. The districts within it are varied, each with their own distinct atmosphere. Charlottenburg is an upmarket – somewhat sedate – area in the west of the city with beautiful 19th-century townhouses but there are students here too. Kreuzberg, traditionally a major center for the city’s Turkish and alternative residents is a fashionable, multi-cultural area. If you are looking to move to the most famous of cities, removals to Berlin is for you.
Removals to Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf is a beautiful cosmopolitan city sitting on the Rhine river, and home to banks, industry, media companies, multi-national HQs, museums, restaurants and markets – and great international schools. There are 50 districts across the city: Stadmitte is mix of cultures with rich and poor side by side. Houses are rare, apartments expensive but for some it’s the place to be. Pempelfort, with its diverse cultural scene, and up-and-coming Hafen are both popular with singles and younger people. Bilk is a densely populated area filled with foreigners and students who enjoy its thriving nightlife and lots of green open spaces. Close to the river, Oberkassel is perhaps the most attractive part of the city with its art nouveau architecture – with prices to match. Niederkasse is a sought-after area – and home to over a quarter of the city’s Japanese population. If you are looking for Germany’s equivalent to Paris, then maybe removals to Düsseldorf is for you.
Removals to Frankfurt
Frankfurt, is Germany’s financial capital and looks a little like Manhattan with its skyscraper skyline and, similarly, most of the 600,000 people who work here chose to commute in from the suburbs rather than live right in the center. This is partly because of the cost, partly because of availability. There are new-builds in Reidberg, the West and East Harbour, Rebstockpark and Friedberger Warte, while older mansions (and consulates) fill leafy Westend, Holzhausen Quarter, Poets’ Quarter (Dichterviertel), and the Diplomatenvierte. Singles enjoy the restaurants and bars in Sachsenhausen and parts of Nordend. Lots of executives live in towns in the Vordertaunus, a wooded area 45 minutes north-west of Frankfurt. If you are looking to work within the financial sector then removals to Frankfurt could well be for you.
Removals to Hamburg
Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany with 1.8 million inhabitants. The metropolitan area is home to 5.1 million people. Although it’s a vast city, people have more living space than all the other major cities in the world, there are loads of green open spaces and many rivers and canals crossed by over 2,000. Altona is a popular residential district, with beautiful old architecture, restored old factories and large, expensive villas with river views. Eimsbüttal is upmarket and trendy, and where you’ll find the University. Wandsbek, in the far north-east of the city, has the highest number of residents and is a mainly suburban area divided into precincts and quarters. Hamburg Nord is traditionally working class with a few wealthy enclaves. Bergedof, to the south of the city, was once an independent town and still has its own castle which is today used as a museum. If you are looking for Germany’s equivalent to Venice then removals to Hamburg is for you.
Removals to Munich
Munich is the most expensive city in Germany and the one of the most expensive city in Europe. Close to the universities, Schwabing is popular with students and young people. The area segues into the Maxvorstadt with its trendy shops and cafes. Isarvorstadt is the city’s gay area with lots of nightclubs. Haidhausen, on the right bank of the river Isar, is popular with professionals.
Lehel and Bogenhausen are both extremely expensive: the former consists mainly of apartments lived in by the city’s stylish ‘in-crowd’; the latter are grand villas lived in by the city’s old money. If you are looking for the student lifestyle then removals to Munich maybe for you.
Removals to Nürnberg
Nürnberg in a beautiful city in the state of Bavaria, which is situated on the Pegnitz river and Rhine-Main-Danube canal.

Some of the city’s most desirable homes are on the steep hillside and have awesome views. Accommodation in the very heart of the city is limited but Stuttgart-West is an attractive area not far from the city center with shops, markets, cafes, theatres and parks all within easy walking distance. Stuttgart-Ost and Stuttgart-Süd are also very central. Killesberg and Dogerloch are fairly exclusive areas.
