Questions about Germany’s top destinations for travelers

#1 What are the must-see landmarks in Berlin?

Berlin is the largest city in Germany, so it’s not surprising that they have their fair share of famous landmarks. The best historical landmarks in Berlin include:

• Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor)
• The Berlin Wall, the “Iron curtain” that separated Germany into two separate countries after World War II, East Germany and West Germany
• Museum Island (Museumsinsel)
• TV Tower (Berliner Fernsehturm.)

#2 Can I visit the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie?

Yes, the East Side Gallery is the longest surviving section of the Berlin Wall. Today, colorful works of art adorn what was at one time a dark symbol that divided a country of kinsmen. There is also a monument where Checkpoint Charlie, the best known wall crossing, once stood. All that is left is a concrete slab and a small shack.

#3 What is the best way to explore the Black Forest?

While public transportation in Germany is abundant, the Black Forest is best explored by car! Having a car allows you to travel through this dreamy dense forest at your own pace.

One of the best destinations in the Black Forest is Triberg Germany with its famous waterfall. You’ll want to make time for shopping for authentic cuckoo clocks (you’ll find the world’s smallest and largest working Cuckoo clocks here!) and be sure to order up a slice of the delightful Black Forest Cake, created right here in Triberg!

Looking for Black Forest tours? You can find them on Get Your Guide, like this one that leaves from Frankfurt: Frankfurt to Black Forest, Baden-Baden, Freiburg and by Car

Check out this article on the best way to Explore the Black Forest!

#4 What are the best day trips from Berlin?

I’d keep in under 2 hours of travel each way for a day trip. These are great options: Leipzig (2 hours by car, 1 by train) Hamburg (2 hours by train) Dresden (under 2 hours by train) Hanover (2 hours by train)

#5 How do you explore the Romantic Road?

The two best ways to explore the Romantic Road are by car or by group tour. Here’s a map of towns along the route.

Book a tour, sit back and relax, and let someone else do the driving!

• Frankfurt: Romantic Road & Rothenburg ob der Tauber Tour
• Romantic Road Private Tour from Munich
• Romantic Road & Rothenburg ob der Tauber Tour from Würzburg
• Romantic Road Trip Frankfurt a.M. – Weikersheim

#6 How can you visit Neuschwanstein Castle?

The #1 rule for visiting Neuschwanstein is to plan ahead. This is one of Germany’s most visited attractions. If you have your heart set on seeing it, it’s best to book tickets in advance. If you want to see the inside of Neuschwanstein you’ll have to take the guided tour.

If you have time, I recommend visiting Hohenschwangau Castle, which sits on the opposing hill. Get the full guide to visiting Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau.

#7 What are the top attractions in Frankfurt?

I myself can’t seem to get excited about Frankfurt but you may find these Top attractions worthwhile:

• Städel Museum of Art
• Main Tower (one of the highest buildings in Frankfurt)
• Kleinmarkthalle (food, flower, and wine market)
• Cathedral of St. Bartholomew (Coronation site of Holy Roman Emperors for 300 years)
• Palmengarten Frankfurt (50 acre botanical garden)
• Senckenberg Natural History Museum (complete with dinosaurs)
• Iron Bridge (footbridge with stunning views)
• Roemerberg Square (historic buildings, fountains, and people watching)

#8 How can you explore the Rhine Valley?

My favorite ways to explore the Rhine Valley are by car and of course by boat, but if you’re determined you can get around by train too. See the best castles on the Rhine as you float lazily by! Even better, consider booking an overnight stay in one of these amazing Rhine River Castle hotels!

#9 How do you visit the Eagle’s Nest?

You can visit Eagle’s Nest on your own. Today, the former Nazi outpost has been turned into a restaurant called Kehlsteinhaus. From the top you’ll get panoramic views of the mountains surrounding Berchtesgaden and Salzburg. The road to the restaurant is closed to public traffic so you’ll need to catch a bus from the Obersalzberg parking lot to the restaurant.

Alternatively, there are tours to Eagles Nest from popular bases like Munich and Salzburg.
Here are some popular options:

• Eagle’s Nest and Berchtesgaden Tour from Salzburg
• From Munich: Guided Group Tour to Eagle’s Nest
• Day trip from Munich to Eagle’s Nest, Königssee & Salzburg

Questions about eating and drinking in Germany

#10 What are some traditional German dishes to try?

Wiener schnitzel is my favorite! A cut of meat, usually veal or pork, pounded thin, breaded and fried to golden brown perfection and served with lemon slices.

Apple strudel (Apfelstrudel) consists of apples baked in a crispy light pastry, you can’t go wrong!

Wurst Wurst Wurst! Germans are known for their Wurst as much as their beer or lederhosen. You’ll find it on fancy menus and being sold on the street and these savory little sausages show up on breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus.

# 11 What is the best way to experience German beer culture?

Beer (Bier) is a huge part of German culture, in fact, beer is often cheaper than both water and soft drinks. The best way to enjoy German beer culture is at one of the fun beer gardens found just about anywhere in Germany.

Expect traditional music, copious amounts of beer, and all-around merriment! You’ll find indoor as well as outdoor beer gardens. If you’re headed to Germany, simply search “beer garden in BLANK.”

#12 What are some must-try German street foods?

Oh how I love street food! Top choices include wurst. There are over 1,000 different types, each region seems to have its own specialty. German’s put a different twist on French fries (Pommes.) Order them with curry ketchup and mayonnaise…delicious!

Doner kebabs are actually Turkish and not German but regardless you’ll find these little slices of heaven all over Germany. Seasoned meat (usually lamb, beef, or chicken) that’s spit roasted until it is incredibly juicy, is shaved thin and then stuffed into soft delicious flatbread and served with fresh toppings.

The soft chewy pretzel (Brezeln) is a popular snack in Deutschland, especially in Bavaria. Flammkuchen is basically a German pizza with a cracker thin crust. The traditional version is topped with sour cream, bacon and red onion.

Find more German street food in this article: German Foods

# 13 Where can I find the best traditional German food?

If you’re looking for the spot to try some of Germany’s most popular traditional dishes look no further than Bavaria. Bavaria is quintessential Germany, complete with beer, pretzels, traditional German costume, savory wurst, crispy roasted pig knuckles (Schweinshaxe) and the Wiener Schnitzel!

#14 Are there any food tours worth joining?

Food tours are a great introduction to local delicacies and traditional foods. Let a local escort you around their town to the best area eateries. The best way to find a food tour is to look up tours on Get Your Guide for the city you plan to visit. Don’t forget to check customer reviews before booking!

#15 Where can I try authentic Black Forest cake?

Head to the town of Triberg, the home of the Black Forest cake! The cafe where my favorite cake originated has sadly closed its doors but there are plenty of bakeries serving up this decadent dessert, PLUS you’ll have the opportunity to visit the famous Triberg Waterfalls and see both the world’s largest and smallest cuckoo clocks!

Get all of the details in this Triberg visitor guide!

# 16 Where can I experience a traditional Bavarian breakfast?

Book an overnight stay at a German Gasthaus! I rarely stay in a chain hotel in Germany. I prefer cozy family run establishments, and they almost always include a traditional German breakfast buffet.

# 17 What are the best wine regions in Germany?

The 13 major wine regions are: Ahr, Baden, Franconia, Hessische Bergstraße, Mittelrhein, Mosel, Nahe, Palatinate, Rheingau, Rheinhessen, Saale-Unstrut, Saxony, and Württemberg. With the exceptions of Saxony and Saale-Unstrut, most of Germany’s major wine regions are located in the western part of the country. (Wikipedia)

# 18 What are some traditional German desserts?

You can’t go wrong with:

• Strudel, a crispy baked pastry filled with fruit like apple or cherry.
• Black Forest cake, a layered chocolate cake with pastry cream and cherries is one of my favorites (watch that liqueur it will get ya!)
• Bienenstich is another popular German cake. This yeasty cake has layers of vanilla pastry cream and is topped with a sticky sweet layer of honey and sliced almonds. It’s been my go-to since I was a kid!

Step inside any German bakery and introduce yourself to beautiful tortes topped with fresh fruit, or cakes topped with colorful fruits like raspberry and strawberry, feast for your eyes and your stomach!

# 19 Can I drink the tap water in Germany?

Yes, it is perfectly safe to drink tap water in Germany! When I was a child in the 70’s we bought our drinking water but today it isn’t necessary. Be aware if you decide to buy bottled water most of it is, to some degree, carbonated so read the labels (ask for help if you need help or try out your Google Translate app!)

# 20 Do I need to tip in Germany?

Tipping in Germany is not a requirement, nor is it as common as tipping in the United States. If you receive good service and would like to leave a small tip of maybe 10% feel free. If you want to add the tip onto your credit card payment, you’ll need to inform them before they run the card. It can’t be added on afterwards.

Questions about Festivals and special events in Germany

# 21 What are some famous festivals in Germany?

Famous Festivals in Germany include:

• the world famous Oktoberfest
• German Christmas markets
• Krampus events around Christmas
• Fasching (Karneval or Fastnacht) which you may refer to as Mardi Gras
• Viehscheid or Almabtrieb which is the bringing home of the cows for winter in the German state of Bavaria.

# 22 How can you experience Oktoberfest?

To get a true “Oktoberfest” experience you’ll need to head to Munich from late September through early October. Many people mistakenly think that Oktoberfest is a country wide celebration, but it really isn’t. Why? Because Oktoberfest started in Munch in October of 1810 as a celebration of the marriage of the Bavarian King.

What should you wear to Oktoberfest? Whatever you want but if you want to get festive, you’ll want to shop for Trachten the traditional Bavarian costume. (Lederhosen for the men and dirndl for the ladies!) Now that you are appropriately costumed, prepare yourself to drink copious amounts of German beer (bier) and eat pretzels (Brezeln), wurst, and pork knuckles (Schweinshaxen)!

Oktoberfest can be CROWDED! Looking to avoid crowds? Check out these small-town Oktoberfest alternatives.

# 23 What is the best way to enjoy the Christmas markets?

First, bring plenty of warm clothing. Layering is the best way to pack for winter.

Prepare yourself for the crowds since the markets get very crowded. Crowd beating tips include visiting the most popular markets during the week or first thing in the morning. The markets tend to get more crowded as the day goes on. Still, you’ll want to come back at night to see all of the sparkling Christmas lights!

Glühwein is the darling of the markets. This hot mulled wine is served in colorful mugs unique to each market. You’ll pay a deposit for the mug so you can keep it, or return it and get your deposit back after you’ve finished your wine.

When shopping, look for authentic German crafted souvenirs and gifts. Get my list of German Souvenirs and gifts here! and be sure to check out my Germany winter guide if you’re headed to Germany in winter.

Questions about transportation and getting around in Germany

#24 How is public transportation in Germany?

ok wow, that’s a loaded question! Germany holds a piece of my heart, and I firmly believe that everything they do they do the best, except when it comes to public transportation.

Train strikes are frequent, leading to canceled trains and trains are often delayed. For this reason, I recommend always knowing the bus schedule and having a backup plan. Flixbus is efficient, affordable, and reliable. If you plan to travel by train, make sure that you get the DB (Deutsche Bahn ) app, an incredibly helpful tool.

You may find this Public Transportation for Beginners guide helpful.

# 25 How do you navigate the Autobahn?

If you’ve ever driven on the freeway or motorway, you’ll have no trouble driving the Autobahn. The first time I traveled Germany as a driver I intended to avoid the autobahn at all costs. Well, my GPS had other plans. You know what, it wasn’t scary at all.

Contrary to popular misconception, there are speed limits on the autobahn, in most places anyway. It’s pretty much like driving on any other freeway complete with never ending construction and traffic jams.

Tip: Learn the German roads signs before attempting to drive in Germany and don’t cruise in the fast lane (the left) those Benz and Mercedes will run you down! Farfegnugen!

# 26 How do you travel between German cities?

Germany has an impressive rail network. Do note that trains are often delayed, late, or cancelled. If you choose to travel by train I recommend having a backup plan and knowing the bus schedule.

That being said, Flixbus is a great way to travel between cities in Germany. Buses are slower but cheaper and can be more reliable. How do you plan bus and train travel in Germany? These are my favorite resources: Flixbus, Deutsche Bahn, Rome2rio.

Rental car is my preferred mode of travel.

# 27 How do I buy a train ticket in Germany?

Buy them in advance at Deutsche Bahn or at train stations. Some stations have an attendant, while others just have ticket machines. No need to worry, you’ll find instructions in English, just select the British Flag.

# 28 Can I use my foreign driver’s license in Germany?

Yes. As a VISITOR You can drive up to six months on your valid driver’s license. Rental car companies may require that you obtain an International Driving Permit. You’ll find the finer details here.

# 29 What are the best apps for transportation in Germany?

The DB or Deutsche Bahn is the official public transportation site in Germany and has a very good full-service app. (track your trips, purchase tickets, train station information, etc!) I also like to use Rome2Rio to plan routes.

# 30 What are the best scenic drives in Germany?

The best scenic drives include: the Romantic Road, the German Fairy Tale Road, the German Alpine Road, the German Wine Route, just to name a few!

General Questions visitors have about Germany

# 31 Are credit cards widely accepted in Germany?

Yes, most places in Germany accept credit cards, but leave the Discover and American Express cards at home. Visa and Master Card are widely accepted. I use my card, which doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees everywhere I can because I earn points to fly free!

# 32 What are some popular German souvenirs?

I love to fill my house with handcrafted German items. They’re just special! The most popular include cuckoo clocks, beer steins, traditional Bavarian clothing called Trachten, wooden nutcrackers and smokers, Hummel figurines, Birkenstock shoes, Christmas items, and German specialty foods.

You’ll find the ultimate German souvenirs guide here!

On October 3, 1990, East Germany officially joined the Federal Republic of Germany in the West, ending 45 years of division and dissolving the communist German Democratic Republic.

# 35 What should I avoid doing in Germany?

I’m going to Germany for the first time. What are the dos and don’ts and etiquette I should know about when traveling to Germany?

Great Question! I have an entire article about rookie mistakes to avoid while traveling in Germany! A few of the top ones include avoiding anything having to do with the Nazi era, avoid being late, avoid acting like you own the place because this is THEIR home, and avoid breaking the law. You don’t want to get hit with a fine or worse.

Avoid over packing. You don’t want to be strapped with huge luggage when navigating cobbled streets, historic hotels that may not have elevators, and possibly getting on and off trains and buses.

# 36 What language do they speak in Germany?

The official language of Germany is Deutsch or German. There are many different dialects in Germany, but Hoch Duetchs (or High Germany) is universally understood.

# 37 Is English widely spoken in Germany?

Yes, English is a required language in German schools. Most service workers in tourist areas speak English. Don’t make the mistake of expecting everyone to speak English though, you’re in Germany and they speak German! I recommend learning a few of the niceties, hello, goodbye, please, thank you etc! (get tips on learning a language for travel)

# 38 What is the capital of Germany?

Berlin is the capital of Germany.

Questions about planning your trip to Germany

# 39 What are the requirements for traveling to Germany?

This is an important question! The best source for this information is the official government website for your home country. If you are a US citizen that would be the US Department of State website.

First, you’ll need a valid passport with at least two blank pages and with a validity date of three months beyond your planned date of departure from the Schengen area. (Germany is a Schengen country) US Citizens are not required to have a visa for visits under 90 days.

If you plan to visit in the last quarter of 2026 or after you may need prior authorization to enter. You can get more information on the official ETIAS website.

# 40 What are the best castles to visit in Germany?

If you’re looking for a lot of bang for your buck the best castles to visit are:

• the Fairy tale Neuschwanstein Castle
• the storybook Burg Eltz Castle
• Hohenzollern
• New Palace Potsdam (Neues Palais.)

Not able to stray far from Frankfurt International Airport? Here are 43 must-see castles near Frankfurt am Main.

# 41 What is the best time to visit Germany?

That all depends on what you are looking for! Summer brings warm temperatures and hordes of crowds! You’ll be able to participate in activities like swimming outdoors but be aware that Germany in summer can be quite hot these days and many places do not have air conditioning.

In winter you’ll find lower prices on things like hotels and flights, but many attractions close in winter, and getting around can be a bit more challenging. The Christmas markets are magical!

Spring and Fall are considered shoulder seasons and they are, in my opinion, the best time to visit Germany. Prices are a bit lower than summer, the weather is usually mild, and the oppressive summer crowds have either gone or not yet descended. You can get all of my best Germany travel tips in this article.

# 42 What are some hidden gems in Germany?

Oh, I love this question because I too love a good hidden Gem! A couple of my favorites include:

• Bad Windsheim, a small village just down the road from Rothenburg ob der Tauber. I spent part of my childhood living in Bad Windsheim and it’s my favorite place to escape the midday crowds of Rothenburg. What to do in Bad Windsheim? There’s a wonderful Franconian open-air museum with historic buildings and the impressive Frankentherme thermal bath and spa.
• Another hidden gem is the medieval village of Dinkelsbühl, a less touristy alternative to Rothenburg. Here’s an article explaining how to find the best hidden gems.

# 43 What are the best places to stay in Germany?

It, of course, depends on your tastes. For me, I prefer small towns and villages but many prefer the hustle and bustle of the city. My favorite small towns to stay in include Cochem, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and anywhere along the Moselle River or Upper Middle Rhine River.

Popular among those who prefer the city include Munich, Cologne, Dresden, Berlin, and Hamburg.

Popular regions of Germany include the Black Forest, Bavaria, the Rhine and Moselle regions, and the north shore.

# 44 What are the best hiking trails in Germany?

Germany is made for hikers and those who love to walk. I would be hard pressed to pick the best, but my favorites include:

• The trail that circles Eibsee, the emerald green lake at the base of Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain.
• You’ll find bucket list worthy scenery on the short hiking trail between Konigssee and Röthbachfall, Germany’s highest waterfall and experience the emerald green Obersee on your way.
• The trails that run through Berchtesgaden National Park are particularly scenic as is the Wimbachklamm gorge and waterfall.
• Since I’m a kid at heart I kind of love the forest trails with mystical carved wooden creatures like Zauberwald Fichtenau Park near Dinkelsbühl and Steckeschlääfer-Klamm near Bingen (both hidden gems!)

Check Komoot for the top trails in Germany!

# 45 How do you travel to Germany on a budget?

We generally fly free with points. Other ways to save on flights are by tracking with Google flights or signing up for deal tracking services like Going (get flight deals sent to your in box!) (after you find your deal always book with the airline directly)

Germany has some excellent hostel options which can be found on Booking.com. Rooms in major cities tend to be higher. Consider finding a hotel outside of the city center that sits on the bus route into the center.

Food: I generally find the food to be reasonably priced in Germany. Take advantage of free breakfast offered by your accommodations. Have your big meal for lunch and find some tasty inexpensive street food for dinner.

Attractions: get out your calculator and see if a discount pass will save you money. Check the town’s Tourist Information office for any passes that may be on offer.

# 46 What are the best activities for families in Germany?

Children will be thrilled with the many fairytale castles in Germany. They’ll enjoy running and romping in the wide-open spaces, or at one of Germany’s many playgrounds.

Germany’s many lakes and beaches provide endless days of fun in the sun. Or enjoy one of the many public pools or thermal baths, both indoor and outdoor (give it a google search!) Therme Erding, near Munich, is the largest thermal bath complex in Europe.

In the mountains you’ll find opportunities for enjoying mountain go karts, mountain carts, and luges and of course skiing.

Some of the amusement parks I enjoyed as a child like Phantasialand are still open today! Other options include Legoland Deutschland and Europa-Park but there are tons more!

# 47 How can you learn about German history?

Get out there and explore Germany’s best historical sites! Here are some of Germany’s best historical landmarks:

• Prehistoric Pile Dwelling Museum (Pfahlbauten Unteruhldingen) located on Lake Constance. This archaeological open air museum has recreated dwellings based on Neolithic and Bronze Age stilt house settlements that existed here from around 4,000-850 BC!
• Old Town Hall Bamberg (Altes Rathaus) is surrounded by Bamberg’s Old Town, with its medieval streets and Europe’s largest intact old city wall.
• Trier was founded by Romans. Several well-preserved Roman structures still stand and include Porta Nigra Gate, an ancient Roman City gate from the year 170 AD, a large Roman bath complex from the early 4th century, and a Roman amphitheater.
• In Berlin you can visit the Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor) and the Berlin Wall

# 48 What unexpected things should I be sure to pack on a trip to Germany?

Make sure that your electrics automatically convert from 110v to 230v. If your electronics aren’t dual voltage, in addition to the plug adapters you’ll need to bring a voltage converter with you.

One thing I do bring with me is a top sheet because I sleep hot and they aren’t a thing in Europe.

# 49 When I go to Germany for one week, what other countries should I visit while I am in Europe?

It’s easy to hop around to different countries in Europe. Europe has an extensive rail network and flights within Europe are inexpensive, making it easy to move from European country to country.

However, one week isn’t a lot of time. I’d keep my map small and visit one of the countries that borders Germany. For instance, if you’re visiting the west of Germany, you may find you’re close to The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium or France. Bordering the south is Switzerland and Austria, in the east is the Czech Republic and Poland, and in the north is Denmark.

# 50 How much does a Germany vacation typically cost?

There’s no easy way to answer that question. We all have different budget styles. On one end of the spectrum, you have backpackers who choose cheap hostel stays and get their meals at the local grocery store. On the other end you have luxury travelers who stay in the finest hotels and dine at MICHELIN Star restaurants.

You’ll find my travel style somewhere in the middle. I generally prefer guest houses with lots of personality (think old world decor) and prefer a cozy restaurant with a hot “melt-in-your-mouth” schnitzel. Coming from the US, I find that overall, restaurants, hotels, car rentals, and attractions are quite inexpensive in Germany.

If you’re “middle of the road” like me I’d plan to spend around $100 per night on hotels, $25 per day on food, $30 per day on transportation. It’s easy to travel Germany on a budget! Check out this list of cheap gifts and souvenirs to bring home from Germany!

# 51 Are there good Roman ruins in Germany?

There are! The best ones can be found in the ancient city of Tier, which was founded by the Romans. You will be delighted to find several well-preserved Roman structures still standing. The best examples of Roman structures in Trier include:

• the Porta Nigra Gate, an ancient Roman City gate from the year 170 AD,
• the ruins of a large Roman bath complex from the early 4th century
• a Roman amphitheater
• a Stone bridge over the Moselle River. (Römerbrücke.)
• Don’t miss the Archaeological Museum with its impressive display of Roman artifacts.

# 52 What are some famous churches and cathedrals to visit?

• The UNESCO World Heritage Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) (the “tallest twin-spire church in the world, the Second tallest church in Europe and the third tallest church of any kind in the world)
• the Ulm Minster (Ulmer Münster) (the tallest church in the world)
• UNESCO World Heritage Aachen Cathedral (Aachener Dom), burial place of Roman Emperor Charlemagne
• picture perfect Parish Church of St. Sebastian with its babbling brook in the foreground and Bavarian Alps in the background.

# 53 What to wear on vacation in Germany?

Understated is good, if you’re looking to fit in. Leave your loud clothing and home and dress comfortably. Comfortable shoes are a must because you’ll be walking A LOT, often on cobbled streets! Dress in layers so you can go from cool temps to warm and back again. And don’t forget to bring your rain gear!

# 54 How many days is enough to see Germany?

You could give it as little as two days in one of Germany’s best tourist towns. There is sooooo much to see and do in this wonderful country and you could see some of the best highlights in a week, I prefer to have at least two weeks.

You’ll find my best Germany itineraries here.

# 55 What are the most popular places to visit in Germany?

The Black Forest, the Upper Middle Rhine River Valley, Bavaria, and Germany’s best cities like Berlin, Munich, and Cologne.

# 56 How expensive is traveling in Germany?

Everything is relative but if you are traveling from the United States or Canada, you will likely find that prices in Germany are quite reasonable.
