What do I need to know before moving to Hamburg?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Hamburg, they said...
"Hamburg is a vibrant city with a rich cultural heritage and a great quality of life. Expats should be aware that the cost of living in Hamburg is relatively high, so it is important to budget accordingly. It is also important to note that the city is very bike-friendly, so having a bike is a great way to get around. Additionally, Hamburg is a very international city, so expats should not be surprised to find a diverse range of cultures and languages. Finally, it is important to remember that the weather in Hamburg can be unpredictable, so it is important to be prepared for all kinds of weather," wrote a member who made the move to Hamburg, Germany.
