      Watching this in Augsburg! We are living quite well here in the shadow of Munich. We have everything we need, even an IKEA and an Apple store, oh and our own "Oktoberfest", called "Plärrer", twice a year, on Easter and in September, and what we lack is only half an hour away in Munich.

      I'm moving to Munich in a couple of months. I'd like to have an apartment in a nearby town, but many people say there are a lot of problems getting to Munich to work in the winter :l Is that true?

      I live for 5 years in Augsburg from my place to Pasing in Munich is 26min with train. I also have lived in Leipzig and its a great place as well. Salaries are lower but prices are cheaper.

      Augsburg is just a step away .. even by car (BEV). Trains could be full as a lot of people commute to Munich by train. Depends where you can find an appartment .. center or more outside. How much time to Augsburg train station. If it comes to money, Augsburg saves more money for you.
      Fun fact: Inside of Munich you'll need sometimes 30-45 minutes to reach your destination, so sometimes it's the same time coming from outside.

      I feel like purchasing an apartment as fast as possible would be the right decision because theres probably gonna be big inflation when this place goes trending

      Munich is most overrated city in Germany.

      Boring as fuck, people unfriendly and uptight..

      One thing though.. nature around Munich is amazing.. lakes.. Alps..

      most people who still live here that i know live because of that.
