"dont live, and havent lived in VIenna. have visited twice" - why you are giving advices on Austria not knowing anything about it? :D Im sorry, but you do not know how it's living here, how complicated things actually are and how it works :D
I am from England and I am sick and tired of hearing people say that the Austrians who live in Vienna are unfriendly. That myth is totally untrue. I lived and worked in Vienna from 2017 - 2019 and found the people to be very friendly and really helpful. I made lots of lovely Austrian friends in Vienna. I think the people who make these disparaging remarks are probably the ones who are unfriendly and so if you are an unfriendly person yourself then how can you expect others to warm to you with friendliness. Try greeting the shop keepers and waitresses etc., with a smile and a friendly comment then you will automatically see how friendly the Viennese people really are! 😀
"Pro and Cons of Living in Vienna" ... from someone who has never lived there in her life. We really don't put many expectations on people who provide information, do we?
You can live in Vienna for ever and make a shitty video. You can never have lived in Vienna, do your research, and do a great video. This is a great video.
There definitely more pros than cons for me living in Vienna, it's definitely one of the best cities, with one of the best public transport system in the world, it works usually 24/7 I had to use it a lot of times in the night and it was really good as it was on day time. I tried a couple of times to leave the city and find a job somewhere else. But the final decision ends always with staying in Vienna and the point with the easy traveling is a good one. With so many countries around Austria it's really easy to go for a short trip to another place. I like that. Shopping is expensive, if you compare it with for example Munich and Munich is an expensive city in Germany it's for groceries an almost €0,50 to €1,00 higher price to pay. And the smaller post offices can close for lunch sometimes between noon until 1 or 2 pm. The most stores are closing at 8pm from Monday to Friday and on Saturday at 6pm, so organize your self. If you like to have a job with more English you need to go into the gastronomy, the Hotel business or the tourism and cultural business with all the visitors in Vienna, we have the UNO City, the OPEC, a lot of Marriott Hotels, the Hilton and the Ritz Carlton. And these companies need of course people with multiple language skills which includes English. Sales manager, Event manager, IT manager, operations manager and a lot more. So Vienna is growing in different ways and needs well educated people from around the world.
What about healthcare? If you come to study and don't have a job yet, what will medications cost if you get sick? Private healthcare is super expensive and you don't even get covered for 6 months and after you pay 3000 euros (500 a month) so is there a simpler way? That seems to be a big cost barrier especially if you have maintenance medication or are diabetic.
Vienna is amazing city and its better than german cities on some many ways...but thing that is better in Germany is that salary gap between different job positions is not that high like in Austria. For example doctors will make more and kindergarten teachers will make less in Austria than in Germany. In Germany everyone will earn decent salary...in Austria that's not the case
If you compare other big cities in Europe Vienna night life is very boring.Most of Austrians are very cold,don't like so much forners and if you don't speak good german good luck finding a good pay job.
Austria is not really a place for party people as they are mostly introverts and they appreciate other things. Try Malta or any other southern European country, but you will also need good English there. Without the proper language skills it will be difficult everywhere.
I am Brazilian and visited Vienna. Really Vienna is a wonderful city. I think if the public health system is good, it compensates high tax burden. Health expenses are completly unpredictable. Even people who have some millions of dollars, can go bankrupt depending on the disease. Have a good luck!
Putting Vienna on my travel list after the pandemic. I have watched many videos about different cities and countries in Europe recently, and it seemed that Vienna has the best reputation and what I love so far. I am a coffee-lover and music-lover as well, so I can't wait to visit it in person!!
It is a beautiful city with lots of culture, but effectively a "retirement house"! How often one gets a chance to visit or attend a concert or museum; after awhile it becomes monotonous and boring. Coffee houses and coffee culture are indeed amazing. Enjoy while you have opportunity to work remotely or enjoy your retirement! The biggest reason for NOT moving to Vienna is High Taxes! The social benefits do not justify that level of high taxes. You won't realize it until you start paying six to seven figures tax! which is abhorrent. Investing that money covers your family education, health care, private transportation .... btw, Europe is not "half of the world' :o) Cheers!
Dear.. Now Vienna is not anymore the best place.. All kind of trash and looser are living there..let art museum.. Blah, blah..as a tourist is OK.. But just go around in other quarts..
Vienna is clearly the easiest city to live in Europe. I refer strictly to issues of infrastructure, access to services, high quality of envrionmentals. When it comes to issues like friendliness of locals and / or doing business clearly not a good choice. A great place for families with little kids and old people but not Europe‘s most exciting destination for fun. It is a sleepy city. Live in the center where by 8 pm you hardly see any people. Thank god for the existence of foreign people who give the real colors and oxygen of life to the place.
Better compared to germany. Poor Germany a lot graffiti's there. Austria, Hungary, about Czech not so sure. They are clean countries with culture, high social status and upper class whatever comes to your minds related to elegance.
Hi, I am a pianist and I want to move in Vienna because it's known for its music culture. I guess, according to the video it's better for me to move in Berlin?
Regarding taxes, we are paying quit a lot but at the end of the year we get back money from the taxes, also family bonus help for the kids and not related to the taxes is family allowance that is from 180 euros/month or more per kid. In other European countries this allowance is super low, like in Italy ( 50 euros/month per kid)
As always , great Work you put in , an interesting and intriguing question I would like to ask that what do people of western and northern Europe think if an immigrant of different race especially different colour works among them , lives among them. Does an immigrant feel safe and integrated into the society assuming our immigrant has fully mastered the language and different cultures . Please be honest . Would appreciate if a video is made on this topic . ( I totally understand that this is merely de dependent on the individual and his surrounding environment he resides himself in , still would love to hear it from you ) Thanks 😀 Again I have a crush on you ☺️
Austria is one of the best places to live in EU. But did you know Austria ease up to provide citizenship to foreigners by investment in the economy?. Btw great video Anna!
Elaborate more on that please!!!!!!!!!!!! I am interested in migrating to Austria and want to open my Day Spa but I am an expat. How will that work for me only speaking English?
@@Sexeyg4055 Well, citizenship by investment program in Austria requires you to make a direct investment in Austrian business' which in return provides jobs to its other citizens and the minimum amount is somewhere around 3 million euros i think, it is basically for HNIs ( high networth investors).
@@dionysos7735 I live 20years in Vienna and I didn’t get the Austrian passport because auf Speeding tickets also my brother and lots of Freinds Austria is the most strict country in the whole EU for giving their Passport.
Viennese here...to finance most of those "Pros" you evaluated like for instance subsidized housing or very affordable Public Transportation, state healthinsurance respectively public healthcare, social services, free education system, keeping the enviroment clean and pretty in general...etc... therefore taxes are needed....as simple as that....it´s a "Give and Take"...would that all not exist although high taxes then I would agree with you that "high taxes" are a "Con"...but that is here not the case.
I’m sorry but why did you even make a video about living in Vienna when you haven’t been there. There’s such a difference between living somewhere long term and just visiting
because sunday is kinda holy from the past, and on sunday we chill mostly🤣 it is also important for people who work in shops to have at least a day off in germany they have open till 9/10 p.m. which is unthinkable for us...not because we are lazy, it is to protect people
I'm british and have lived in Austria for 40 years and the last city I would want to live in here is Vienna. Coffee shops and Austrian culture is similar in all parts of the country ,Graz or Salzburg are much nicer places to live with far more friendlier people. The people in Vienna tend to be arrogante and not as easy to live with.
Missed you on youtube, and following your lovely blog vagabond. Why did you leave Germany and Austria? How German language was useful for your business and life in Serbia?
hi . is it okey for part time work? . and how is process of part time work over there? i have a suggestion , could u please say more about part time works and students life over there. because it will be a huge help for me . thank you .
Hallo Anna, wie versprochen ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und ein gutes neues Jahr 2021!! In Wien war ich nur zu Besuch als Tourist, ist eine tolle Stadt, der Naschmarkt, das Hundertwasserhaus, Kaffeehäuser ... Ja wirklich zu empfehlen! Wünsche Dir eine gute Zeit und viele schöne Tage!!
Danke, liebe Anna, für diesen genau so gut vorbereiteten, wie vorgetragenen Vortrag über die so berühmte, charmante und liebenswerte Donaustadt Wien! Hier ein Vorschlag für weitere Themen Deines Kanales: Erzähle uns doch mal etwas aus Deinem früheren und Deinem jetzigen Leben, denn ich glaube, daß dies viele Deiner Zuschauer interessieren würde. Ich denke an Fragen, wie: "Wer bin ich, wie wurde ich dazu, woher komme ich, was treibt mich an, was glaube ich, was erhoffe ich und wie sieht mein Leben mit oder ohne Mann aus?"
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Anna, those coffee houses sound divine. May I ask what do you wish to do with your International Business qualification? The most important aspects of moving to a new city in another country are that: (1) You have qualifications to do a particular job; (2) You can speak the language. I have assumed that in addition you have a good reason for wanting to be there, eg, your boyfriend lives there; you have family there; you have fallen in love with the city.

ust i heard the 1st word i recognized that you're russian at once
i used to live in vienna, Wien and its was great and very music and art oriented place, with sports and food on the mind

For example doctors will make more and kindergarten teachers will make less in Austria than in Germany. In Germany everyone will earn decent salary...in Austria that's not the case
For me, it's closest to being the most prefect city on earth
there are no pros

I do Opera so Vienna is almost in my heart.
You said nothing about the biggest con: the unfriendly viennese.

I want to enroll my masters degree in Austria, can I invite my family when am done with my programme?
you can't talk about a city when you haven't lived in it! I lived there and I didn't like the people at all..
maybe the problem is you? how can you dislike 2million people…
It is a beautiful city with lots of culture, but effectively a "retirement house"!

Yeah thanks for the crimes, devision between rich and poor and the erosion of our culture, very nice.
Very accurate
so in spring and summer there are no parties after 8pm really?
Thank you very much for comprehensive information.
Best of luck dear beloved friend
you have to validate your train ticket after buying it or hefty fine
Du sprichst über Dinge von denen Du keine Ahnung hast.
Thanks for the info
Better compared to germany. Poor Germany a lot graffiti's there. Austria, Hungary, about Czech not so sure. They are clean countries with culture, high social status and upper class whatever comes to your minds related to elegance.
It's claustrophobic and archaic.
Aren't a lot of tourists and old buildings kind of to be expected from a historical city like that?
