I used the Deutschlandticket in September. It was a really good deal and I never had to get another ticket for public transport.🤗

[neckarsulme]

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!

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.

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.

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.

Amazing!! Going to Germany next march and there is a lot of useful tips here. Danke DW :D

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.❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[guadalupemartinez]

Thanks for your tips! I will try to remember some of them when I travel to Germany.

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 😂
