Getting Started
Untitled Document
With centuries of practice, Germany has come quite close to perfecting its tourism infrastructure. Backpackers, families and jetsetters will all find their needs and expectations met. Room and travel reservations are a good idea during peak season (summer and around holidays), but otherwise you can keep your advance planning to a minimum.
DON`T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT…
Valid travel and health insurance.
Memorising at least few basic words of German.
Hotel or camping reservations if travelling outside the cities in summer.
Nerves of steel for driving on the autobahns.
Towel and soap if staying in hostels, private rooms or cheap pensions.
A raincoat, rainproof shoes and/or umbrella for those days when the sun is a no-show.
A set of smart clothes and shoes for hitting big-city clubs, the opera or fancy restaurants.
