You know those awkward moments you experience in a foreign country when you have no idea what the hell is going on? Well, look no further ’cause we’ve got you covered. Here’s what you need to know before traveling to Germany!
Other than in the UK, you can’t pay by credit- order debit card in many restaurants and bars. That’s why carrying cash is always an advantage in Germany.

Good luck if you want to go shopping on a Sunday. In Germany, Sunday is the day of rest and most shops aren’t open, though bakeries and restaurants are in bigger cities. So when in Germany, you better do your food shop on a Saturday to avoid starvation.

In bigger cities, people usually leave their empty bottles next to a bin for a homeless person to return the bottles and then receiving the Pfand.
In other countries, breakfast consists of either a coffee and a croissant or a massive fry up, but not in Germany! Germans love a big breakfast buffet, almost a bit like brunch, with rolls, a cheese platter, sausage plate (duh!), loads of jam and other spreads.
