Thinking about relocating to Europe? Germany might be the perfect place to start your next chapter. From world-class healthcare to bustling job markets, this central European powerhouse has a lot to offer Kiwis looking for a new adventure.

Here are five top reasons to consider making the move to Germany.

1. Strong Job Market and Career Opportunities

Germany has one of the most robust economies in the world – and that means job prospects are solid. Whether you’re in tech, engineering, healthcare, or skilled trades, there’s a steady demand for qualified professionals.

Cities like Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt are international business hubs, and there’s a strong focus on innovation and sustainability. Plus, work-life balance is more than just a buzzword here – it’s built into the culture.

2. Affordable (and Excellent) Education

If you’ve got kids – or you’re thinking of studying yourself – Germany’s education system is a big drawcard. Public universities in Germany often have little to no tuition fees, even for international students, and the standard of education is high.

Schooling options for younger children are broad too, with international schools available in major cities to help with a smooth transition.

3. A High Quality of Life

From efficient public transport to clean, green cities, Germany is known for being safe, organised and well-run. Healthcare is top-notch, public services are reliable, and there’s a strong sense of social support.

The cost of living varies depending on the city – Berlin tends to be more affordable than Munich, for instance – but everyday life is generally comfortable, especially with decent wages and worker protections in place.

4. Central Location for Travel

One of the best things about living in Germany? You’re right in the heart of Europe. Weekend getaways to France, Italy, the Netherlands or Austria are quick and easy thanks to extensive rail and flight networks.

It’s a dream for travel lovers – whether you’re exploring historic towns, hiking the Alps, or enjoying a beer in a medieval village, there’s something for everyone, just a short trip away.

5. A Rich Mix of Culture and History

Germany’s culture is as diverse as its landscapes. From the buzzing art scene in Berlin to centuries-old castles in Bavaria, there’s no shortage of things to see and do.

Festivals like Oktoberfest and Christmas markets are world-famous, and each region has its own customs, food, and dialects. It’s a great place to experience Europe’s history up close, while also enjoying a modern, forward-thinking society.

With its stunning backdrop of mountains, rivers, and oceans, the city boasts a mix of established neighbourhoods and emerging suburbs. Here’s a breakdown of the best suburbs in Christchurch, for every lifestyle:

Best Suburbs for Families

Fendalton

Fendalton is an affluent, family-friendly suburb just a short distance from the CBD. It’s known for its tree-lined streets, elegant character homes, and proximity to top schools such as Medbury School and Christchurch Boys’ High School.

Why Move to Wellington, New Zealand? Top Reasons to Relocate

Posted on | by New Zealand Movers

Considering a Move to Wellington? Here’s Why This Vibrant Capital Should Be on Your Radar

Wellington, New Zealand’s capital, is one of the country’s most exciting cities. If you’re looking to relocate from Auckland, Christchurch, or another region, Wellington combines the best of city living with easy access to nature. Here are four fast facts that explain why Wellington should be at the top of your list when considering a move.

1. World-Class Quality of Life

Wellington is renowned for its exceptional quality of life. In 2017, Deutsche Bank ranked it as the best city globally for quality of life, surpassing major cities like London and New York. Domestically, over 80% of Wellingtonians rate their living experience positively in New Zealand’s Quality of Life Survey. This speaks to the city’s affordable living, low crime rates, strong economy, and excellent healthcare.

For those moving to Wellington from Auckland or Christchurch, the city offers a balanced lifestyle where work, family, and leisure come together seamlessly. It’s ideal for professionals, retirees, and families alike. If you’re ready to leave the fast pace of Auckland or seek a new, more relaxed atmosphere compared to Christchurch, Wellington’s combination of culture, employment opportunities, and a welcoming community is hard to beat.

2. Nature Right on Your Doorstep

Wellington’s proximity to nature is one of its biggest draws. No matter where you live in the city, you’re never more than 3 km from the coast. From beachside walks to kayaking and sailing, Wellington’s waterfront offers plenty to explore.

But Wellington isn’t just about the sea. The city is surrounded by 50,000 hectares of regional parks and forests, ideal for hiking, biking, and camping. If you’re someone who loves the outdoors, Wellington’s landscapes make it easy to enjoy nature, no matter the season.

If you’re moving from Auckland, where it can sometimes feel like a more urban environment, or from Christchurch, which is a little more inland, Wellington’s direct access to both the beach and lush forests offers a refreshing change. Weekends in Wellington are the perfect chance to explore hiking trails, visit quiet beaches, or simply relax in one of the city’s many parks.

3. Reliable Public Transport System

When relocating to a new city, having access to efficient transport can make a world of difference. Wellington boasts an extensive public transport network, managed by Metlink, that includes buses, trains, and ferries. This system covers not just the city but also extends to the Kapiti Coast and Wairarapa, making commuting and exploring easy.

For those moving to Wellington from Christchurch, where public transport options can be more limited, this will be a welcome change. Wellington’s transport system ensures you can get around without the hassle of car ownership, making the city more sustainable and reducing traffic congestion. Plus, with services running regularly, getting to work, a nearby park, or a scenic ferry ride is as easy as stepping out your front door.

4. Mild, But Windy Winters

Wellington has a moderate climate, but it’s famous for its winds, especially in winter. The southerly winds can make it feel colder than the temperature suggests, so you might need to adjust to the chill. However, the city’s winters are generally mild, with average temperatures hovering between 6-14°C (43-57°F). In summer, the weather is temperate and pleasant, perfect for outdoor activities and enjoying Wellington’s many cultural festivals.

If you’re moving from Christchurch or Dunedin, you’ll be used to colder, drier winters, so Wellington’s winds may take a bit of getting used to. On the flip side, if you’re coming from Auckland or further north, Wellington’s winters will feel noticeably cooler and more unpredictable. But with a good jacket and a pair of sturdy shoes, the wind will soon feel like a part of Wellington’s unique charm.

Why You Should Consider Moving to Wellington

Wellington offers a blend of urban life, outdoor recreation, and cultural vibrancy that’s hard to match. Here’s why you should consider moving to Wellington:

  • World-class quality of life: With top ratings for affordability, healthcare, and safety, Wellington provides a great environment for families and individuals.
  • Unbeatable access to nature: Beaches, forests, and regional parks are all within reach for outdoor enthusiasts.
  • Efficient public transport: Easy access to buses, trains, and ferries makes commuting a breeze.
  • A moderate climate: While winters can be windy, the overall climate is comfortable year-round, with warm summers and mild winters.

Whether you’re moving from Auckland, Christchurch or Dunedin to Wellington, or another part of New Zealand, you’ll find that the city offers the perfect mix of convenience and natural beauty. It’s the ideal place for anyone looking to build a new life in New Zealand, whether for work, study, or retirement.

Ready to Make the Move?

If Wellington sounds like the right fit for you, be sure to explore our guides on sustainable moving to Wellington and what the best suburbs are in Wellington to help you with your transition. Relocating can be a big task, but with the right support, your move to Wellington will be smooth and exciting – request a free, no obligation quote from New Zealand Movers.
