One of western Germany’s lesser-known cities, pretty little Essen sits between Dusseldorf and Dortmund, and it’s swiftly becoming a much more popular choice for a German relocation.
Once an industrial hyper-hub, the place is now a bit better known for being kooky, quirky and creative… with a young population, relatively low rents, and a nice community vibe. If you’re looking for friendly, interesting and not too pricey, you’ve found it.
The city is a pretty common new-home choice for young people—loads of students live here, and it’s a good nightlife spot.
