Traveling in Germany is generally stress-free thanks to its excellent public transportation network. Trains are punctual and efficient, ideal for long distances. For city breaks, the U-Bahn and S-Bahn are indispensable. Germans value politeness and punctuality; a 'Guten Tag' is always appreciated. Debit and credit cards are widely accepted, but it’s useful to have some cash for smaller purchases or markets. Tipping is customary, usually around 5-10% in restaurants. Don’t forget the environmental zones in many cities; an environmental sticker ('Umweltplakette') is often mandatory if you travel by car. Be prepared for changeable weather, especially in spring and autumn, and pack layers.
