Maribor has by far the best climate, and is actually a really good city. I wouldn't mind living there.

Utrecht and Lund seem pretty nice too, although Sweden is pretty expensive to live in.

yes Maribor seems like the best climate overall. I want the big city experience though, I think Lisbon is my favourite, I just have to learn Portuguese...

Winter half-year, but more like Aug-Feb.

If it's during the summer part of the year, I'd probably take Lund. I'm probably biased towards Sweden of course, but Lund has pretty lovely summers, and the Scanian landscape is amazing if you ask me with very lush forests and vegetation (although I guess that's typical of the entire western Europe). It's also sunnier than most of western Europe. Of course the mediterranean cities like Lisbon especially will have substancially nicer weather, but their standards of living aren't exactly very nice in comparison...

Edit: Oh, it's kinda a fall half-year. Well, Lund gets beautiful falls, and will probably have some snow. Although it might be more tempting to go for a mediterranean climate if it's a colder part of the year. Still, Sweden has nice standards of living. Swedes are all good at English, and Swedish should be relatively easy to learn as a German.

Worst

The only one of these places I've been to is Bergen and that was only for 2 days so I'm not sure which one you should move to.

Me neither. That was just my response to the climate battle part as it has the best climate of these options. Not my suggestion for where he should move.

For the climate alone i would have probably taken Valencia or Athens.
But since the question is not only about considering the climate, i'm choosing La Laguna.

Well most people here already know that i'm obsessed about the Canary Islands.
La Laguna is a small little university town that's a Unesco World Heritage Site.
It's grown together with Santa Cruz, it literally takes 10 minutes by car to drive to the capital of the Island that has quite a different climate.
I don't see any other option in this poll that match the variety of Scenery that you can get to from La Laguna in less than a hour.
