As a german citizen: Good luck, and welcome to germany! Hope you have a great time here. There are many very very beautiful small towns which don’t costs much, but are usually still in the vicinity of larger cities. So you usually, if you plan correctly, you get the pro’s of both. Beautiful small historic city and if wanted the buzz of a big city withing an hour’s drive. Cheers!
