My girlfriend, her friend (both from Germany), and I (from US) made this document for some friends’ first trip to Germany

  2. I assume you’re asking if it’s okay?

    I don’t think most tourists are going to need all this information, but you do you. If you want to go full German, laminate it.

    About the Deutschland-Ticket: it’s valid on all forms of local public transport, not just trains — also U-Bahn, trams, buses, etc. It’s a digital subscription ticket that auto-renews every *calendar* month unless cancelled in time, so not always the best choice for tourists. But if it is worth it for your friends, I would suggest they go with [mo.pla](https://en.mopla.solutions/en/tickets/deutschlandticket), as that has a much more flexible cancellation policy than most resellers.

  3. The title has at least one typo and doesn’t make a lot of sense. May I suggest:

    “Münchenreiseratschlägezusammenstellung” (basically “Munich-travel suggestions collection”)

  6. I would say verry good.

    But like said before, the 49€ is a subscribtion, but maybe also worth it for tourist. It includes all local trains, also not DB trains, like in Bavaria BRB and Averio ex GoaheadBY and also all trams, buses… What is not included is specialy note in Bavaria because there gives a lot of very different longdistane trains like ECE, EC, IC, ICE, WESTbahn, RJ, RJX, TGV, Flixbus, Flixtrain.

    And about the Radler, especially in the South, you can get mostly 2 different types, sour or sweet, Beer mixed with Sparkling Water or OffBrand Sprite

  7. Cancellation of Deutschland ticket within 10 days of a calendar month may be important. Alternatively buying it on the mopla website.

  8. Museum discounts is definitely missing that you can get into most museums for 1€ on sundays.
    Englischer Garten should also be on that list. And the DB app for train schedules and tickets.

  9. Wait. Metal in ‘Gelber Sack’/’yellow bag’ are you sure about this.

  10. At a close look you forgot über but they probably already know that app, and you forgot to mention toast is not considered bread in Germany 🤣. But overall pretty solid.

  11. Stuttgart near Munich feels Like a lie, but the Rest Checks out

  12. Not so common in Munich maybe but “Weinschorle“ is also an honorable travesty lol

  13. Warning: if you eat schnitzel in Vienna, work an appetite beforehand. Some of the restaurants make plates that can feed two people.

  14. You made a point about chocolate and not bread? Unbelievable. /s

    Seriously tho, Pfand is, at least in my land, included in the price shown at kiosks and gas stations.

  16. To Salzburg: more like 3 hours from Vienna, not 1 and the sound of music trash is 99% unknown here. They should not be surprised if hardly anyone knows anything about that shit (i unfortunately had to watch it in school and it was AWFUL

  17. I’m going to tell all my friends here in the US to “have a safe fahrt” when they go somewhere.
