    Have lived in Vienna myself for a while and I have to say, it is dullest place I have ever been. Beautiful city, dull people, dull nightlife. Sorry to offend if I did, but it's the truth.

    +1...also dull food (the local muck).

    Just to add one fact about Munich. It's in the Bundesland (something like a federal state/province) of Bavaria, and they have the toughest laws of all parts of Germany.

    (The Bundeslaender have their own laws, regarding security, public offenses, policing, ect)

    Ah well...anything south of Dortmund is a part of Austria anyway :D

    Been to all three. Avoid Zurich.

    Vienna is the place to woo a woman.
    Munich is a place to get her drunk and mount her.

    And Zurich is where you ask her to walk on your back in heels?

    Tokyo by a mile and a bit. Or Shanghai.


    But of all the cities you weren't asking about, Reykjavik is the one you should be going to.

    Or Vancouver.

    Reykjavik - terrible place to work unless you like fish guts. Great place to party. Outside genes are very welcome so expect attention.

    I assumed you had German. If not, you would find Munich the least manageable on a day to day basis. Both Vienna and Zurich are more international.
    But you will need some German to experience any of them properly.

    Only been in Munich but it was so good that I'd go again. Don't know a lot of WW2 or Munich's history but went on one of the walking tours and I was hanging on the tour guide's every word, very interesting.

    The beer is good too! No vicious hangovers the following morning because of strict ingredient laws. :pac:

    I would just caution that experiencing a city as a tourist is very different to living and working there.

    Vienna is the most beautiful and liveable and the people are non too bad either.

    Munich is Germany, expensive Germany with taxes eating into good salary.

    Zurich higher income lower taxes more expats and more English spoken. As for the latest referendum. Yes it has passed but no legislation is on place and the federal government isn't in favour so expect reform lite.

    Does Zurich have the fest?

    Does the other one that isn't Munich have the fest?

    There's your answer.

    Living in Zurich right now temporarily for half a year. The nightlife is surprisingly good for a city of this size. The Swiss German is a b*tch though. Even ze Germans struggle. As said before it's expensive.

    Vienna is more beautiful but have only been there for max two weeks at a time. I heard the nightlife is more underground so you'll have to put a bit more effort in meeting the right people to have a good time.

    But Munich? Never saw the attraction........the solution is Berlin. Live there normally and it's such a great city to live in. One of a kind.
