Germany,great place to live on the whole.
I've been here since 1984 and lived for years in Bayern (Munich,Landshut and Garmisch),and since 1996 here in Hildesheim/lower Saxony.
I love going back home to visit,but to live ? Forget it.If I move anywhere it will be back to Bavaria.

Oktoberfest und die Chiemsee! I love the two panels at the border when one drives from Switzerland into Bayern.
The first one, very proudly displayed looks like this
and the second, a much smaller standard one like this

Re: Best place to be in Europe?
Thanks for that, I'll pass it on to my two daughters - even though they grew up there and are more Swiss than English (dual nationality) they will be interested - and I will pop in there from time to time.. to see how the Brits are getting on.

Re: Best place to be in Europe?
Yeah this is a very vague thread I know that, and yeah there's not one answer but still I'm wondering about oppinions here.
I'm British (A northner) and I really don't see my future being here...I come from an isolated area and beyond there everything just feels alien anyway so I may as well go the whole hog and go to somewhere totally new and exciting.
In the past I've lived in Amsterdam; I was only there for half a year though (university exchange) and found it to be pretty good but the Netherlands worry me a little. I don't see there being much of a long term future there, its too dangerous with global warming and all. And of course its just too crowded.
Currently I'm living in the anti-Holland; Sweden. Here there's just too much space! They count small towns of a few thousand people as cities. Also the way of life here is just not so great. Too strict. I don't see much of a long term future here but again I'm only here for a short time (a year in this case though-I've got a short term contract on a project)
Following my leaving Sweden I'll be becoming somewhat redundant and in need of a new job. I'm not sure where I shoud look though.
Where do you think the best places to live in Europe are?
Also what are job opportunities like for a Brit abroad?- I've got pretty good IT qualifications but I'm not a language expert, which is of course a big negative point anywhere but Ireland. I can pick up languages after a few months right in them of course but that's no good when you're at your interview.
