Good to know

  • Driving in Germany might take some adjustment for first-time visitors. Be aware that traffic travels on the right side of the road.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Germany is 0.05%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.

  • One of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination is around 8am. Make driving easier by avoiding peak periods in general.

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for everyday purchases and activities. Pay by card where you can, and keep some cash handy when electronic payments aren't an option.
