Frequently asked questions about hostels in Germany

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?

    Germany offers plenty of budget-friendly options. Free walking tours in cities like Berlin and Munich are a great start, allowing you to explore historical landmarks and neighbourhoods. Many parks, such as the Englischer Garten in Munich or Tiergarten in Berlin, are free and perfect for relaxing. Hiking in the Black Forest or Harz Mountains is also inexpensive, requiring only appropriate footwear and provisions. Visiting smaller towns and villages often proves cheaper than major cities, offering a more authentic experience. Look for free museum days or discounted entry for students and young people.

  • What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in Germany?

  • How easy is it to navigate the roads in Germany?

    Germany's Autobahn is famous, but driving can be challenging for some. The Autobahn has sections without speed limits, requiring confidence and experience. However, the road network is generally well-maintained and well-signposted. Using a navigation system is recommended, especially in cities. Remember that speed limits are strictly enforced, particularly in built-up areas.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in Germany?

    The best hostels for families and kids in Germany are Eastseven Berlin Hostel, Lekkerurlaub and Cvjm Jugendhotel München.

  • How can travellers best respect local customs while visiting?

    Punctuality is highly valued; being on time for appointments and meetings is crucial. Saying 'Guten Tag' (good day), 'Bitte' (please), and 'Danke' (thank you) goes a long way. Avoid loud or boisterous behaviour in public places. Tipping is customary in restaurants (around 5-10%), but not always expected in cafes. Learning a few basic German phrases will be appreciated.
  • What are the best pet friendly hostels in Germany?

    The best pet friendly hostels in Germany are Hostel Lollis Homestay Dresden, Pfefferbett Hostel and Superbude Hamburg St Pauli.

  • Which traditional festivals define the spirit of Germany?

Carnival (Fasching or Karneval) is a major event in many regions, particularly in Cologne and Düsseldorf. Numerous Christmas markets pop up across the country in the weeks leading up to Christmas, each with unique crafts and treats. Each region also has its own distinctive festivals celebrating local harvests or saints' days.

  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Germany?

    A week allows for exploring different regions. Consider a combination of a major city like Berlin (history, culture, nightlife) and a scenic area like the Bavarian Alps (hiking, castles, lakes) or the Romantic Road (charming towns, medieval castles). Alternatively, exploring the Rhine Valley with its castles and vineyards could fill a week comfortably.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Germany?

    A weekend trip could focus on a single city like Munich (culture, beer gardens), Cologne (cathedral, museums), or Hamburg (harbour, nightlife). Alternatively, a weekend in a smaller town like Rothenburg ob der Tauber (medieval architecture) or Heidelberg (castle, student town) offers a charming escape.
  • Are there specific regions known for great weather?

    Southern Germany, particularly Bavaria, tends to have warmer and sunnier weather than the north. Areas around Lake Constance and the Bavarian Alps often enjoy pleasant temperatures, especially during summer. However, Germany's weather is variable, so packing layers is always advisable.
