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.

    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'.

    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'

    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". 😁

    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.

      @@jamespetersen74 Berlin is a dirty big city (almost 4 mio people). The district Friedrichshain is alternative, has a lot of street art, graffitis, bars, clubs, punks, beggars and squat houses and a party area. Kreuzberg too, just without punks. Neukölln and Wedding is a mixture of cool and dirty, it has the most population of foreigners, for example one street with almost only Arab shops but around the corner many cool bars (Neukölln Sonnenallee). You get the greatest middle eastern and Turkish food there. These districts are also known for being a working-class area and a poor area but due to gentrification there are a lot of hipsters, students, gallerys, rising rents, and people with money too, who want too live in a cool area by pushing the people away who used to live there.

    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)

    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.

    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*

    To be fair to Munich - while surrounded by a rather conservative state, Munich as a city has always been far more liberal. It has become quite posh and expensive in recent years, but there is still a lot Libertas Bavariae around. Munich is a bit posh, expensive and arguably more into fashion than other cities but it's also home to a vibrant alternative culture, which is quite unique combining elements of the Hippie era and Bavarian folklore and is actually quite left leaning. The notrorius CSU which is a more conservative version of the CDU party is weaker in Munich than in any other Bavarian area. Also the German Bavarian accent has been disappearing in the city for the last 30 years. You'll hear more Hessisch in Franfurt than Bairisch in Munich. It's pretty Much standard south German you will hear in shops and supermarkets.

    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

      I think it really depends on what you’re going to study 😅
      Cities like e. g. Darmstadt are multicultural and a good spot for scientific purposes in terms of studying 😄👍🏼
      So every of Germany’s ‚university cities’ has kind of a specialisation on certain courses, of course in major German cities there is almost every subject offered for studying.. but as well consider that you should make a list of a few different universities which are interesting for you, maybe you don’t get approved at the one uni you wanted to visit because there are already too many people waiting on hold, so it’s always good to keep a plan A, plan B, C etc. 😂👍🏼

      folx, graffiti in Berlin is indeed MUCH MORE than in all (most) other major cities in Europe. you have overall graffiti but not to that extend. But alll have also to learn how to decode graffiti and why people associate different things with it. many Germans are not aware that in many parts of the world graffiti comes indeed often as a sign of more violence/crime in that area. and people who are used to that are of course at first a bit turned off if seeing that much in Berlin and have to learn to re-associate that it is rather harmless. of course you have also always ppl who just dont like graffiti or a city covered with that and prefer more 'cleaner' cities. thats absolutely ok and Germany offers a lot of cities for other tastes - which is good.

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.

Das war lange vor den Handys und er somit nicht einfach erreichbar. Ich wartete also in der nächsten Eckkneipe, auf seine Rückkehr.
