Very full in betweenI travelled by ICE 77 second class from Hamburg to Freiburg. It was a very nice journey because I saw a lot of Germany. Fortunately for me, the train was very clean, almost sterile. During the almost six-hour journey, I made use of the offer of the on-board bistro and treated myself to a soup. It was very tasty. In between, the train was a bit crowded, but I had my seat, so this was basically not a problem. The conductor asked to see my ticket several times, but that was OK.

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 Freiburg im Breisgau, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the Hauptbahnhof (main train station) and popular tourist spots. Scam attempts involving overcharging in taxis or at local markets can occur, so it's advisable to agree on prices beforehand. Additionally, travelers should remain vigilant when using ATMs to avoid card skimming. Overall, Freiburg is considered a safe city, but staying aware of personal belongings helps ensure a trouble-free visit.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. 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. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
