In this video, we hope to at least give some advice and suggestions on what to bring when traveling to Germany. A lot of these things can be applied to other countries in Europe as well, but we focus on Germany advice in regards to power outlets, telecom companies, etc. Let us know if you know of anything else!

Do you 2 have plans for kids in the Future? I know an Eismann Who makes the best Eis in the world. His name is Bruno and he lives in Bevern. he is Italian and he makes eis since 1982. And every Eissorte he makes is a creation from him. A new eissorte from his is Coca Cola, Cookies is really good, Gummibärchen Eis is very good too and he make even more eissorten who are perfect. When you want to make are comparison video where Eisdilen and Eis Unternehmen ein VS machen sollen würde ich euch bruno vorschlagen. LG aus Germany, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Ostwestfalenlippe

Other big supermarkets are Edeka or Rewe for example. They are more expensive but have a bigger selection in special stuff and more brand products.

6 Tops, 4 bottoms, a vest with lots of zip pockets, 2 scarves (one dressy silk, and 1 knit), 1 rain jacket, 1 dress, 1 sneaker pair, 1 semi dressy flats pair, a cardigan sweater, a warm wrap, 2 long sleep shirts, unders, socks, 1 bra, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, buy toiletries there. Wear some of the items on the list and you will have plenty of room to bring things back. Backpack held laptop, iPad, camera, electronics and all that. Vest held all the documents, phone and other items I would usually put in a purse. I packed a small empty purse so I didn’t have to carry one during travel. This was a 21“ carryon, and a small backpack for a 3 week trip. Skip the hair dryer and curlers, just get a good cut and some product that works with your natural hair. Only cosmetic was a combo cheek/lip color, concealer, mascara, eyeliner, and crayon type eyeshadow stick. Never needed more.

One thing I would like to add: If you plan to do a lot of walking and sightseeing, bring/wear comfortable shoes and DON'T wear high heels or flip flops. A blister on your foot can ruin your whole vacation and many cities and villages have areas that are paved with cobblestone or gravel or other uneven materials that make flip flops very uncomfortable and high heels dangerous to wear.

I work at a major tourist place in NYC and see women tourists wearing heels every day. What are they thinking? It's like a European city - lots of walking. News flash tourists: getting around the Statue of Liberty takes a lot of walking besides getting to the boat. You don't drive in and park in a lot.

Another good tip is to not overfill your suitcase. You're most definitely going to buy something to take back with you (planned or unplanned) so it's always good to leave some space for that. I like to just fold my clothes and put them in on the way there and then roll them up on the way back cause rolling clothes really saves a lot of space! 😉

Thats german law. On "mehrspurigen Schnellstraßen" multiple track Highways you are obliged to stay on the right.... and NEVER EVER overtake on the right if the overall traffic is faster than 80km/h. Anything less than 80km/h on a Highway tends to get a "Stau" traffic jam where you are allowed to pass on the right.

The last time I used the Deutschebahn app which like he said is really good. Previously I booked some trains ahead from the US and printed out the ticket page. Different types of trains at different times can have very different prices. Sometimes the transfer time seems too short (like a few minutes) on some itineraries so watch out for that. Of course if some guy decides to kill himself by jumping in front of a train in Brussels the whole system schedule can suffer and make you miss the connection anyway.

We bring one plug adapter and a standard North American extension cord so we can plug in all our chargers and power supplies at the same time. The extension cord is also helpful in old hotels with few sockets or when the socket is in an inconvenient place. Compared to Canada, mobile coverage in Germany is cheap so we had no problem with that, and Canadian bank debit cards work in German automated tellers with minimal to no extra fees than what we would pay at home.

Deana and Phil forgot to mention if you are taking prescription medication you need to get a letter from your doctor, it helps when you get to the border if they question your medication. And also in might be advisable to see a Travel Doctor who will help with any medical needs you may have ( especially if you have some major health problems). A travel doctor is GP who specialises in needs for people who are traveling (especially overseas.)

A really good video for getting information about travelling to Germany (Europe). For me as a German it's funny but about the toilet things I did it right that when I travel inside Europe. For Example, I was last year for a week in London UK and only with hand luggage so I decided to get only the really necessary things in my backpack like clothes and a second pair of shoes, teeth brush, Electronic shaver and very important a switch for the power ;-). So first thing I did in London was to drive to the city from Heathtrow Airport and checked via google maps a small supermarket near by my hotel in West Ham (north east London) to get deo, teethgel and a suncrem as well. Long story short it makes it easier to get through the security and border control especially when you leave the european union.

I love how they finger count differently, just like in that scene from Inglourious Basterds. At 2:31, she uses the index, middle and ring fingers to count 3, while he uses the thumb, index and middle finger.

Good spot! Different countries/cultures have different ways of even doing the simplest things. For example (using the only two countries I'm familiar with) in the UK we generally start with 1, but in Hungary, they regard 0 as the first number - they have an M0 motorway and keyboards have the 0 on the left. Their dates are also the 'sensible' way round - 10th May 2023 in the UK is 10/5/23, but in Hungary it's 23/5/10 (although both of these make more sense than the US way of writing dates!). And the same applies to names - first name first in the UK, but surname first in Hungary. They also have a very weird way of telling the time after the half hour in Hungary. Basically they take the time away from the next hour - but it's not as simple as just saying ten to six. Despite living there for several months every year from 2001 to the pandemic, I've never quite understood this - I just avoid it!

Great recommendations! I was actually curious about over the counter meds like dayquil, nyquil, melatonin and advil. Is it allowed to bring those in Germany?

Additional shoes and layered clothing is actually really smart, last thursday we had 22°c in the sun and on the following day we had 0°c with snow in most of the country so, keep that in mind.

i think both are a good tip no matter where you go -- could not imagine traveling with one pair of shoes and then something happened to them (or one) ..would be difficult to get another pair when you don't have one to wear!

If your are a 'senior' depending on the country (62-65) you may get a 'senior' discount on transportation and museums for example. Usually your passport will have your birthdate to qualify. Also bring a shopping bag as not usually not provided for free if at all in grocery stores.

Hallo Phil & Deana, Hope you both are doing well. Great advice for sure. I miss Germany so much. I lived there six years in total, four years in Giessen and two years in Schweinfurt. I usually go back once or sometimes twice a year but due to COVID I had to postpone three times. As soon as they let Americans travel to Germany I will surely be on the next plane out lol. Yall are an awesome fun couple. I hope to shake your hands one day. :)

Bring your own country's multi-way power adapter, so that all of your home-appliances you brought with you will work from just 1 x EU power adapter :) We travel from the UK to Germany a lot and it always helps to have a 4-way UK power adapter in the hotel room, ready for our phone / speaker / laptop / toothbrush / shaver to charge from :)

Pack for a holiday in Seattle. Western Europe have the same power outlets. Don't know of Central Europe. UK is a different story, but hey the drive on the left. Learn to drive manual shift car or be prepared to pay more for automatic. Google Maps also implements detours when there is a serious traffic jam.

I don´t know why so many people say that we have to pay for using the toilet and that it is not free in Germany. I know, sometimes you need to pay for the toilet, but it is actually not so very often. Maybe in other regions it appears more often, but the place I live (Hamburg and surroundings) you only seldom find places you have to pay for the toilet. And as all places who sell drinks, like restaurants, pubs, diners etc. are forced by law to offer free toilets, you will actually always find a toilet for free. The most cases I was paying for the toilet, I actually didn´t have to pay. I was just giving a tip to the cleaner.
