Essential Travel Tips
Public transportation within cities like Hannover and Lüneburg is efficient. Consider walking or using local buses/trams.
For inter-city travel, Germany's train system (Deutsche Bahn) is reliable and comfortable. Book tickets in advance for better prices.
Many smaller shops and restaurants may not accept credit cards; always carry some cash (Euros).
Tipping is customary in Germany for good service, typically around 5-10% in restaurants and for taxi drivers.
Learn a few basic German phrases like 'Guten Tag' (Good day), 'Danke' (Thank you), and 'Bitte' (Please/You're welcome) – locals appreciate the effort.
