One of the first things you will need to do is convert your national currency to the Euro. To do this you can either get it prior to your departure at your local bank, or get it at the arrival airport in Germany at a currency conversion table. When converting currency at the airport table keep in mind that most are not open 24/7. Another way to get Euro while in Germany is to use your ATM card. You can find an ATM at any bank. Most accept foreign ATM cards but not all. If your ATM card is rejected you will probably get a “card not in network” prompt on the screen. Do not be totally dependant on your foreign credit card. A lot of businesses in Germany do accept American/British/etc. credit cards but not near as many as in your local Country, for example, VISA is accepted in most gas stations but only a few restaurants. It is a good idea to take Euro cash along anytime you go on the economy in Germany. Some American based companies/restaurants take U.S. Dollars, for example, all McDonalds in Germany take American Dollars. For currency conversion at the present conversion rate, questions concerning currency in Germany or just a question about Germany in general refer to the link below. If you are planning a trip to Germany, Great choice, have a great time!! thegermantruth Joshua Spaulding Post Count: 6 Msg: #2 3 years ago, March 3rd 2006 | For anymore questions concerning Germany please visit http://www.thegermantruth.com | thegermantruth Joshua Spaulding Post Count: 6 Msg: #3 3 years ago, April 12th 2006 | Information on Germany | Savage Mark Savage Post Count: 531 Msg: #4 3 years ago, April 12th 2006 | Joshua, | Please refrain from bumping your own thread with a link already given.
