For a travel enthusiast Germany is a must to visit place. We plan to visit Frankfurt in the near future. Would be great if you could make a video on where to visit Frankfurt in a day.
Thank you for the refresher course....I was a young 22 (62 now) year old in the US Army when I was last in your beautiful country...I hope to visit in a year or so!
Great video! The one thing I would add on transportation is that while Germany’s high speed rail network is extensive and theoretically very convenient, in practice it is very unreliable, especially since the pandemic, unfortunately. Hour plus delays are very common, as are cancellations. Having the Deutsche Bahn app is essential, as delays, cancellations, etc., will be difficult to navigate without it.
Germany is the most beautiful country, when I looked to map, I always enjoy to be in southern garman as the landscape is more beautiful then north.❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
I live in Baden Württemberg. I travel a lot to authentic towns and also shoot videos. My area is called "Swabia". All regions in Germany are different. For example, if in Bavaria people say “Wunderbar“ (“incredible”), then in Swabia “incredible” will be “nicht schlecht“ (literal translation “not bad”). Understand different 😅That is, if your Swabian neighbor bought a new car, then you say - nicht schlecht. and that's ok 😊😊
If you speak no German, the three words to learn are "bitte" (please), "danke" (thanks) and "verboten" (forbidden). The first will get a German person to pay attention to you. You will use the second to thank her/him. Knowing the third will keep you out of trouble 😂
Great information Lukas and some amazing places to see in Germany, I am back in Berlin June 2024 for more cycling will be my 5th visit to Berlin, I love it there as its such a good cycling city.
No, they haven't 😀. In general there is no speed limit on the Autobahn. But in reality there is one in lots of sections due to damages, construcion works etc.
Hi there, last year when I was visiting Germany, I tried to buy a Deutschland Ticket but I failed, I was told that, to buy a Deutschland Ticket I need to have a German Sparkonto.
Germans absolutely love the outdoors. I was in death valley in late September and it was still very hot. I asked the park ranger who the heck visits Death Valley in August when it's over 125 degrees? Answer - Germans
Regarding tipping in a restaurant, you just round up to the nearest Euro and if you're very happy, then add another Euro. Maybe 50 cent in a bar. No more!!!
If you are stingy, do as described. However, if you are very satisfied with the service and/or the quality of the food, you tip more and it is up to you how much you tip. However, there is no tipping culture in Germany as there is in the USA, because the people who serve you are paid a reasonable wage.
Dw travel NEEDS a guide with disability. I think many would love to see travel guids for disabled people. I greatly enjoy these videos but offer wonder if some areas are accessible.
@@DWTravel just worth a mention when you do begin wheelchair accessible travel videos. Germany has some of the leading wheelchair innovators and manufacturers I'm the industry!
I was planning on visiting Germany again in 2024 but not if your train drivers will call strikes at short notice again. I lost a day of my short holiday in 2023 because of them and don't want to risk more problems in 2024
Here we would disagree. The tax must be paid by the restaurant owners to the state. The tip, on the other hand, is intended directly by the guest for the staff.
I am planning trip number 3 in 3 years from Australia. The only thing boring about Germany is your own attitude towards experiences. I have seen and done some of the most incredible things in my life in Germany, and there is something for everyone. For me; art, museums, architecture and music festivals were the initial drawcards. But discovering wild places, great train journeys, and towns off the tourist route were unexpected joys. And the ease of travelling cross country makes it possible to easily visit lots of different places - especially when as an Australian, spending 14 hours driving just between geographically “close” cities of Melbourne to Sydney is my normal! And thanks to Schengen agreement, it’s easy to visit lots of other adjoining countries for weekends without visas (fancy a weekend in Copenhagen, Prague or Wrocław.)
I spent 2.5 years defending the Eastern Front of democracy. Many didn't have a positive view of Americans. I understood why. I took time to discover the German Culture. Germany changed the way I saw people and the world. I was blessed to live in Frankfurt.

I used the Deutschlandticket in September. It was a really good deal and I never had to get another ticket for public transport.🤗
Do you get it before hand or once you arrive in Germany? I'm planning on relying solely on public transportation
How did it buy it as a tourist with no German bank account?
@@DD-tc1cw You pay with Visa/Mastercard, of course! It is after all 2025!
Very nice presentation covering all the components of travel. Introduction part is excellent. Thanks a lot for the useful video!!!
That was VERY helpful & insightful, well done & vielen dank! 🙌🏆

TRULY AN INFORMATIVE VIDEO TO EXPLORE THE GERMANIA LIKE A PRO
Thanks for your tips! I will try to remember some of them when I travel to Germany.

Thanks. nice short and sweet presentation by the anchor.

مكان جميل ❤
Great information Lukas and some amazing places to see in Germany, I am back in Berlin June 2024 for more cycling will be my 5th visit to Berlin, I love it there as its such a good cycling city.
I'm coming next summer! Germany's music scene has irreplaceable impact to me, and I'd love to be in a concert in person.
Have fun!
Is it me, or from Berlin Train station, it's kinda a struggle, to find where it is 'to the airport' sighs..? 😊
When would Es tur mir leid be used over entschuldigung
Not getting Visa appointments.
Since when was there not a speed limit on the autobahn? They must have changed that since last night
No, they haven't 😀. In general there is no speed limit on the Autobahn. But in reality there is one in lots of sections due to damages, construcion works etc.
Good! Video should be longer!
Bitte 😍

If you want to blend in, play Rammstein full blast.
Is it weird to travel alone
Not at all, solo travel is soon huge now & solo travel groups online for every part of the world
Duesctland tickets,,9.euro to 49, Euro alles gute ❤️🇩🇪 👍
I can't wait to visit in 2025!
Lukas so handsome
One of the Comprehensive Coverage by DW ..... Hope it was a little more instead of just 11 mins....
Frankfurt hauptbanhoff is sehr sohn 😂😂😂😂.

Kaffe und Brot, bitte, danke
Can I travel to Germany without speaking a word of German? Can Germans speak English?
That depends from the region but globally seen we would say that Germans speak English pretty well.
Dw travel NEEDS a guide with disability. I think many would love to see travel guids for disabled people. I greatly enjoy these videos but offer wonder if some areas are accessible.
We are on it! 🙂
@@DWTravel I cannot wait! Super excited now. Great to see from a similar perspective 🥰

Berlin is only the best place to start because afterwards it can only get better.
Germany is very boring to travel 😅 my only favourite city is Heidelberg.
I was planning on visiting Germany again in 2024 but not if your train drivers will call strikes at short notice again. I lost a day of my short holiday in 2023 because of them and don't want to risk more problems in 2024
It doesn’t happen often
Oh, sorry to hear that!
Actually there are strikes again but you re safe in spring and summer then 😅
@@nikos4433 at this point, we don’t know anymore man
This trip is not our people of 3rd world. This is for rich people. We can see dreams. Sorry
Germany has a VAT tax, so tipping is not required.
Here we would disagree. The tax must be paid by the restaurant owners to the state. The tip, on the other hand, is intended directly by the guest for the staff.
There s not much you can go wrong. There s only bad behaviour or no ticket on the public transport, that may be annoying.
Great country but too exspensive for long travel :)
So you should never go to switzerland. Germany is very cheap compared to Switzerland
People around me keep telling me Germany is boring so are Germans …I am feeling conflicted as to whether or not I should visit
I am planning trip number 3 in 3 years from Australia. The only thing boring about Germany is your own attitude towards experiences.

Very Jealous, Rude and Arrogant Country.
I see nothing exciting about Germany.
