The pros & cons of living in Frankfurt
No place is perfect, there카지노 게임 컬렉션s always the good, the bad, and the ugly. Find out what our Canadian members love about Frankfurt, as well as the challenges they face.
Pros:
-
Ease of travel: Frankfurt카지노 게임 컬렉션s very central location in Europe allows you to easily travel to neighboring countries and other cities in Germany 카지노 게임 컬렉션 whether by plane, train, or car. Frankfurt Airport is located just a 30-minute drive from the city center with direct flights to various Canadian destinations. Flights to other European countries are also cheap from Frankfurt, allowing you to explore the continent easily.
-
Vacation days: The work카지노 게임 컬렉션life balance in Germany is great. On average, you get around 28 vacation days, with 20 days the absolute minimum for those working a five-day week. Plus, employees enjoy up to 10 public holidays a year. So you카지노 게임 컬렉션ll have plenty of time to travel around, spend time with your family, or go back home to Canada when you need to.
-
Weather: Canadian winters can be quite harsh. Luckily, winters in Frankfurt are much milder. Frankfurt카지노 게임 컬렉션s climate in general is much warmer compared to most German cities.
Cons:
-
Bureaucracy: There are many horror stories about German bureaucracy. It can be difficult to navigate, few things can get done online, and often the offices are not too helpful or friendly, either.
-
Language barrier: Normal day-to day activities and interactions are passable without knowing of German. But doctor appointments, official paperwork, finding rental apartments, and so on are much harder without local language skills, as is connecting with the locals. And most Canadians find learning German quite difficult, too 카지노 게임 컬렉션
-
Taxes: Living in Germany means you may have to pay a large percentage of taxes. Taxes can go up to 42% of your income, depending on how much you earn. And this is in addition to social security contributions.

Frequent questions about Frankfurt
