Work from cafés in Germany
Germany is Central Europe's largest country: 16 states, big cities like Berlin, Hamburg and Munich, plus hundreds of small towns with half-timbered houses and market squares. The rail network is dense, prices are mid-range for Europe, and English works almost everywhere in the cities. For nomads, Berlin is the entry point, Leipzig the affordable alternative and Hamburg the calm one.
