cost of living in GERMANY | housing, food, transport & more

How expensive is Germany? This video covers apartments and student housing, groceries, restaurants and take out, transport (trains, bikes and buses), health insurance and many more things. I did the best and accurate as I could. Let me know if there are any additional information I missed :)) If you would like to support & donate my silly little videos: If you’re planning to move to Germany for whatever reason, it’s good to know and have a clear view on the cost of living in Germany. This video covers the average basic costs. Although Germany ranks above average in the OECD Better Life Index in terms of quality of life and well-being, shopping bills in major German cities are often significantly less than in other major European cities. And surprisingly the cost of living in big German cities is lower than in other major European cities such as Paris, London, Rome, Brussels, and Zurich, except Madrid. 00:00 welcome to germany 01:40 wifi & mobile 01:50 additional housing costs 01:59 radio & cable 02:25 groceries 04:46 dining & take out 05:47 cafe & coffee 06:04 ov chipkaart 06:12 transportation 06:22 bikes 06:42 bus, trams & metro 07:12 trains 08:16 cars 08:42 health insurance 09:18 shopping 10:15 student life 11:03 in conclusion The 49 euro ticket is rumored to come more in March or April and it will last for 2 years as an experiment. Sadly it was not super realistic to have it come out on January but I am looking forward to it. NOTES: Metros (subways, tube) are called the U-Bahn (underground train), whilst over ground trains in cities are referred to as the S-Bahn. Regional trains are referred to as the RE (regional express) or RB (regional Bahn). Intercity trains are named IRE (interregio-express) or ICE (intercity express).
