Why it is worth moving to Frankfurt (and not to Berlin)
● In Frankfurt people still walk around relaxed, look around and take their time. Despite the lively hustle and bustle in the Westend, Bahnhofsviertel or Opernplatz, they don't seem stressed, but rather perfectly balanced. The almost annoying hipster appearance finds just as few imitators here as the practiced tunnel vision, eyes fixed straight ahead.
● The fashionable appearance of the people of Frankfurt would be described as well-balanced: stylish and still cool. The people are like the city itself – dynamic, international, vibrant and stylish.
Another plus point: You don't have to worry about a wild cyclist hitting you or hitting you when you cross the street.
● “I’m on the guest list”. Before a club night, you don't have to go through all of your contacts so you can casually stroll past the line that you might otherwise have to stand in for two to three hours. Relax with friends or on the banks of the Main, pick one up and then head to the club, without having to dress in black and wait until 3 a.m. until it's legal to go. Doesn't that sound wonderful?
● The nights are shorter – yes, that can be an advantage. If you're not partying Friday through Saturday lunchtime, you can actually enjoy the weekend and use it to recover from the week and do what you otherwise don't have the time for. You get more out of your weekend.
● Instead of the usual Vietnamese restaurant that offers innovative dishes like glass noodle salad and sweet potato tofu curry, there is a whole range of international restaurants and pubs in Frankfurt with really good home cooking. Add an Äppelwoi and you'll be completely happy.
● Want to pick someone up from the train station, buy clothes or visit friends in less than 45 minutes? Easy. Around the corner is not just literally around the corner. The many skyscrapers make the city appear larger than it actually is. In truth, everything is quite concentrated and if you don't feel like walking, a taxi will take you to another part of the city in 15 minutes.
● No fashion week – yes, that is actually an advantage. Wanna be influencers, laughed out PR people, coked up hipsters who are currently working on a “dope project, but can’t reveal more yet, bro”. They're all looking for the next afterparty, just to score free drinks, of course. As if paying for your drinks is frowned upon?!
Networking, talking about the actual reason for the events/events or even about sustainable fashion trends? – “I'm crazy, I'm crazy, now pass over my free G&T.” In any case, you won't find any really important or international people there.
And if all that wasn't reason enough to move to Frankfurt, the airport certainly is.
