Use bank ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at airports and tourist spots, which charge high fees and poor rates.
Contactless card payments are widely accepted everywhere, even at most street food stalls and small shops; mobile pay (Apple Pay/Google Pay) works wherever contactless is accepted.
Rounding up the bill or leaving 5–10% is appreciated in restaurants, not expected. Round up taxi fares; give €1–2 per bag to hotel porters.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A filter coffee at a bakery or café kiosk costs about €1.50–2. An espresso is typically €1.20–1.50.
A Döner kebab or falafel wrap from a takeaway costs €5–7; a midday bowl of soup with bread from a simple Imbiss is about €6.
A main course at a standard local restaurant (Schnitzel, pasta, currywurst with chips) runs €10–14.
The area around Warschauer Straße and Boxhagener Platz is filled with budget Imbiss stands, food trucks, and pizza-by-the-slice shops; street food is especially plentiful on weekend markets.
Aldi and Lidl are the go-to budget supermarkets in this area; Rewe and Edeka are mid-range but common.
Vintage and second-hand shops along Simon-Dach-Straße and around Boxhagener Platz offer cheap, stylish clothes. For new basics, Primark is at Alexanderplatz (one S-Bahn stop away).
A single-trip ticket (2 stops on U/S-Bahn) is €3.50, but the best value is a day pass for €9.90 (Berlin ABC zone, includes airport). From BER airport, buy an ABC day pass rather than a single ticket: €9.90 vs €4.40 for a single ride.
Buy a weekly or monthly transport pass if staying more than 3 days; they work out cheaper than daily passes. Eat at Imbiss stands or food markets (e.g., Markthalle Neun, open Thurs & Sat) for €5–7 meals. Skip sit-down breakfasts – buy pastries and coffee at a bakery for under €3.
