2) Why?

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Well I would go with Frankfurt!

berlin is way more expensive since it is the Capitol of germany, but the person who anwsered before me is right it gots tons of History! It is a little bit like Chicago and Washington D.C.! I do not like Berlin and also not Frankfurt! But I go with any city than Berlin! Frankfurt has the Stock Exchange and one or two skyscrapers!

Answer 2

frankfurt. ive got a friend in the ____ that is over there now and he says the girls are great and the clubs are even better, but if you want to be positive in life then i would choose berlin.

Answer 3

I would suggest Berlin. Berlin has a lot of History but is also very modern. There's a very active nightlife in Berlin. Also, Berlin has a lower cost of living compared to Frankfurt.

Answer 4

Berlin - Frankfurt is a wannabe metropolis, Berlin is the one and only! Fat B rules.

Answer 5

This is an easy one:

Berlin!

There are nearly only drawbacks in Frankfurt - the only advantage of Frankfurt is the smaller size (meaning that you don't have to ride for a long time to university if you only get a flat a bit outside the city center) and the bigger airport (and, if you like skyscrapers: there are more of these in Frankfurt).

Berlin has more culture, more museums, a bigger club scene, it's more lively, it has more beautiful quarters, it is generally more versatile, you will meet more interesting people, the politics are taking place there, you have more universities and on and on....

In fact Berlin is also cheaper than Frankfurt (Carina S is totally wrong in many ways - Frankfurt has also a lot more than one or two skyscrapers) - actually a whole lot. Here you can get a wonderful flat for about 300 euros - in Frankfurt you pay nearly double! And the snacks are also much cheaper in Berlin (1 to 3 euros), in Frankfurt you pay also twice as much.

I had many visitors here in Berlin and they all said, that it is the most fascinating european city - but it's better to have someone here explaining Berlin to you, because it can be a maze with some hard and rough edges if you don't (see Carina, hehe).

Answer 6
