GERMANY
Wilkommen in Deutschland, the country where history blends seamlessly with modernity, or where picturesque landscapes are everywhere you see. Germany has a lot of different things to offer, like vibrant streets in Berlin or medieval castles spread across the country. I can’t get enough of this country as it’s so diverse and there’s always more to explore!

Best time to visit
Germany is an all-year travel destination, but the peak season would be between June and August in the summer months. July is the busiest month in summer, because of the start of the summer vacation around Europe. The summer is so popular, because of the pleasant temperatures, and longer days.
Winter is best known for the cold, but also the start of all the Christmas markets. It’s not that common anymore to get snow in this season, except only in the southern part of the country.
During these months, you will get a chance to do some amazing hikes, but with less money spent as it’s shoulder season. The weather will also not be as hot as in the summer months.
This will be the busiest time to visit Germany, but you’ll also have the best chance of good weather to do some hikes or visit the famous cities. The downside would be the prices that will increase.
Fall is an excellent time to visit Germany, because of the colorful foliage at the hiking trails! As a bonus, it’s less expensive to see, but this period has more rainfall, so you won’t be able to do everything.
Practical information
People from the Schengen area or the European Union can enter Germany with a valid identity card. Other people need to have a valid passport.

Slovenia uses the power plug sockets that are of type C and F. The standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz
As an European, you can use your own SIM card. Everyone outside the European Union will need to buy a local SIM.
Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, but at some places, it’s still only allowed to pay with cash. And there are a lot of ATM’s spread throughout Germany!
Absolutely! Germany is an extremely safe country. You just need to follow precautions, especially in big cities and everything will be fine. Pickpocketing would be mostly happening in bigger cities like Berlin or Munich.
Germany is a mid-range country so expect to spend around €50 – €100 a day, depending of how much luxury you want. It’s hard to put an exact number on this as it really depends on your activities, accommodations and transportation.
