💡 Local Tips

Insider advice from the LonelyRoad community

  • Visa info for US citizens: No visa required for stays up to 90 days in Germany (Schengen Area) for tourism. Passport must be valid for at least 3 months after your planned departure. Check the US Embassy Berlin site and German Federal Foreign Office for updates.
  • Use the U-Bahn and S-Bahn for fast, safe city travel. Purchase a 'Berlin WelcomeCard' for discounts and unlimited rides.
  • Berlin is very safe, but watch out for pickpockets in tourist-heavy areas like Alexanderplatz and on public transit.
  • Card payments are common, but keep some euros handy for small purchases at local markets or street food stalls.
  • Hostel bars and free walking tours (like SANDEMANs) are great for meeting fellow travelers.
  • Germans value punctuality and quietness, especially on public transport—keep phone calls and loud conversations to a minimum.
  • Tipping is not mandatory, but rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% is customary in cafés and restaurants.
