Travel blog by Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) – Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) - Travel & Lifestyle Hipster Blog Germany has a unique and distinctive set of cultural quirks and traditions. Even if the country is one of the political and economic leaders, a lot of Germany’s cultural oddities really set it apart from the rest of the world. Below are some uniquely German things to know and understand before visiting Germany—especially useful for first-time visitors who might not expect German culture to be so different from back abroad.
Travel to Germany? Use these Essential Travel Tips 1. Cash is essential Plastic has little power in Germany. Locals prefer using cash for just about everything, and if that doesn’t work, then you’ll need a an EC card (it’s a debit card, but your one from the USA isn’t likely going to work).
Even the surprisingly easy-to-use digital formats such as Apple Pay aren’t going to work in Germany. They just aren’t very popular and most businesses won’t accept them. 2.
Everything is recycled…and carefully! The Germans are famously green—and that’s a good thing. Recycling is so ingrained into the culture here, even if you’re just visiting for a few days, it’s easy to pick up the habit. You’ll find large recycling bins on the street for glass containers sorted by color (green, brown, white) which are used collectively by the local community.
This is where you’ll recycle wine bottles. Beer and plastic bottles get returned for pfand—a deposit paid when you initially purchase the drink. Pfand can range from 6 to 25 cents.
