Germany Travel Guide: How to Tour Germany?

Although many people prefer to do "EuroTrips" solo, backpacking, couchsurfing, and camping isn't something that’s suitable for all. And since travelers generally choose to have multiple destinations on their Germany itinerary (and maybe even add on other neighboring European countries to it), pre-arranged private tours to Germany, put together by pros around your needs, are a great time-saving opportunity to see the country the way you want without the need to join exhausting group bus tours for 40+ travelers nor to spend all your savings on luxury packages.
When you've decided that Germany is the country that's next on your radar, the first thing you should do is check whether citizens of your country need a Germany tourist visa.
Because it is part of the European Union and the Schengen, passport holders of the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, (and some others) luckily won't need a visa to enter.
Keep in mind though that in order to avoid trouble at customs upon arrival, make sure that your passport has at least two empty pages plus that it will be valid for another 6 months after your date of entry.

What's for money, the currency in Germany is Euro. You won't have a problem withdrawing Germany's currency in any local ATMs nor exchanging cash in the local banks or exchange offices.
Nevertheless, note, that there will most likely be a fee for the withdrawal if your card isn’t issued in Euros, the same often applies for purchases you make abroad with your debit card, and credit cards might not be accepted in all places. For this reason, we recommend checking with your bank regarding the terms before you go to avoid unpleasant bills.

As mentioned earlier, Germany luckily boasts having all four different season types, so it goes without saying that the clothes and things to put in your suitcase depend on the month of your trip.
For the winter months from late November to mid-February have a warm coat, sweaters, hats, gloves, and warm shoes. For spring and fall, it's a good idea to pack a raincoat and umbrella. For summer, don't forget to have a hat and some sunblock. Regardless of when you go, though, comfortable walking shoes are a "must" as you'll most likely be covering large distances on foot every day of your trip (and the old towns of numerous German cities are cobblestone).
In any case, keep in mind that Germany uses 220-volt electricity plugs, as opposed to 110-volt ones used in the USA. Therefore, it makes sense to get a power adaptor beforehand so that you won't have trouble charging the devices you'd like to bring with you. Plus, make sure to have all your documents handy, including medical insurance that'll be valid while you're overseas. Having a small medical pack with all the medicine and first aid supplies you are used to taking and using won’t hurt either.

Apart from the classic refrigerator magnets, T-shirts, and keychains, most people going to Germany like to bring back unusual things which you probably won't be able to buy back at home.
For starters, this could be a bottle or two of German craft beer made in one of the many tiny local breweries which do not specialize on mass production. Many of the souvenir beers come in decorated ceramic mugs or in packs with branded beer glasses, a nice gift or thing to remember your trip by, right?
The gourmets also like to buy a pack of pretzels or other similar yummy treats too.
Of course, traditional German hats, or Tyrolean/Bavarian hats with the feather on the side, as well as adorned aprons are a hit too.
