Germany uses the euro (€) as its currency. Travelers generally find it convenient to use cards, especially contactless payments, in cities and larger establishments. However, cash is still widely accepted and sometimes preferred in smaller shops, markets, and rural areas. Carrying some cash is recommended for flexibility.
In Berlin, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like public transport, Alexanderplatz, and popular tourist sites. Fake charity collectors and street vendors selling counterfeit goods are common scams. It's also advisable to avoid unlicensed taxi services and be wary of distraction techniques used by scammers to steal belongings. Staying alert in nightlife districts can help prevent theft and other safety issues.

Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order.
