What are the pros and cons of living in Dresden?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Dresden responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Dresden appreciate the city's rich cultural heritage, its vibrant nightlife, and its affordability. They also enjoy the city's excellent public transportation system, its proximity to other major cities in Germany, and its friendly locals. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the language barrier and the lack of international cuisine to be drawbacks. Additionally, the city's cold winters can be a challenge for those who are not used to the climate," remarked one expat in Dresden.
