I don't know how property ownership works in Europe, but in general it's always good to rent for a year just to find out where you want to live. It sounds like you're not particularly familiar with the city 1h40m away other than the commute and maybe some drinks after work. So rent. Get to know your new city on weekends or evenings. Walk around, take the public transportation or bike to other areas of the city and "walk" the neighborhoods. Talk to people who are outside walking dogs or doing yard work and ask them about how things are in those areas. Get a feel for things. Once you find a few good areas to live in town, then consider how close they are to grocery stores, work, places that you'll go. Are they walking or biking distance, etc.
Remember, the true cost of ownership of a house is not just the payment. There are other considerations. Higher utilities than an apartment because it's larger. Anything that breaks is on you, not a landlord. If you have a yard, then you have lawnmowers and edgers, rakes, snow shovels and more to buy. Insurance is higher and you have taxes to pay. You also have to save a sufficient down payment. Comparing a rent payment to a mortgage payment isn't the way to go. If your parents own a house ask them about the expenses of owning a house.
Then you mention this, "I just don't know what the future holds, i'm young and could move to another country in maybe 2 years...." This also tells me to NOT buy.
So, you say that it bothers and depresses you about the commute. Ok. What is the cost of that commute per month? Since you don't own a car, I'm assuming that you're taking a train between your city and the other one. What is the monthly cost to do so? If it's 200 per month, then that cost goes away but is replaced by a rent payment of 650. But effectively it's 450, using my numbers. Also you gain back 8 hours of your life each week due to not commuting and there is some value to that.
Also, just on another thought, you're saving 4.2% of your after tax money in your pension. I know you say you have savings of 60k, so you're saving more than that, but the "experts" say you should save 15%(which will let you retire in 45 years) and if you have read MMM's post on early retirement, you know that this amount is woefully inadequate. 50% is more a reasonable number and that will allow you to retire at current standard of living-ish in 17 years or so. How does retiring at 45 sound compared to a house? Everything is a choice. Good luck.
