## What this site is

Just Move to Europe is a free editorial resource for founders, operators, engineers, product/AI people, and builders choosing, testing, or improving a European base. It covers relocation, cross-border moves inside Europe, local setup, cost planning, useful rooms, capital routes, and short scouting trips for ecosystem discovery.

Users do not need to read it linearly. They can open the city or section that matches their current question: where to base, what it costs, which rooms to show up to, which resources matter locally, or what to check before moving money/time/energy.

The site is not legal, immigration, tax, or financial advice. Visa, legal, and admin sections point users toward official sources and local context; users should verify critical decisions with government pages and qualified advisors.

## Guides

Canonical Europe and country guide URLs:

- Housing in Europe: https://justmovetoeurope.com/guide/europe-housing-guide
- Raising in Europe: https://justmovetoeurope.com/guide/raise-first-check-europe
- What Venture Capital Is For: https://justmovetoeurope.com/guide/what-venture-capital-is-for
- Finding a Cofounder in Europe: https://justmovetoeurope.com/guide/find-cofounder-europe
- Vibe Coding for Founders: https://justmovetoeurope.com/guide/vibe-coding-guide
- Starting a GmbH in Germany: https://justmovetoeurope.com/germany/guide/start-gmbh-germany-online
- Germany Founder Blindspots: https://justmovetoeurope.com/germany/guide/germany-founder-blindspots

The First 30 Days guide has city-tuned canonical versions for each live city. Example:

- https://justmovetoeurope.com/barcelona/guide/first-30-days-playbook

City-tuned First 30 Days versions link back to maintained city setup sections, add first-week banking/SIM notes, and include a local operating map for housing, work base, people/community, mobility/admin, and what to avoid.

Country guides use country-level canonical URLs and can preserve city context with a `from` query for back links. Example:

- https://justmovetoeurope.com/germany/guide/start-gmbh-germany-online?from=berlin

Legacy generic URLs with a valid `city` query redirect to city-specific guide URLs where a city-tuned canonical version exists. The generic First 30 Days route remains a fallback for non-live or planned city contexts, but live city canonical URLs should be preferred.
