Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATM withdrawals from bank-affiliated machines (Sparkasse, Deutsche Bank) for fair rates; avoid exchange bureaux at airports and tourist spots like Alexanderplatz.
Visa and Mastercard widely accepted in supermarkets, chain stores, and restaurants; Amex less common; contactless and mobile pay (e.g. Google Pay, Apple Pay) work in most terminals.
Round up taxi fares to the nearest euro; in restaurants, 5-10% is appreciated for good service, but not mandatory; small change for hotel porters (1-2 euro).
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A simple filter coffee or espresso at a bakery or kiosk: around 2.00-2.50 euro.
A Döner kebab or currywurst with chips from a street stand or Imbiss: about 5-6 euro.
A main course at a standard sit-down restaurant: roughly 12-15 euro (pasta, schnitzel, or pizza).
Look for Turkish and Arabic takeaways along Hermannstrasse and Karl-Marx-Strasse; Döner places, falafel stands, and pizza-by-the-slice are common.
Discount supermarkets like Lidl, Aldi, and Netto are common; Rewe and Edeka are slightly pricier but everywhere.
Primark and C&A at Hermannplatz or Neukölln Arcaden; charity shops (e.g. Humana) for second-hand bargains along Sonnenallee.
A single ticket (2.40 euro) for bus/tram/U-Bahn covers 2 hours; a day pass (8.60 euro) is best for multiple trips. From Berlin Brandenburg airport, take the RE7 or RB14 regional train (direct to Ostkreuz or Neukölln) for 3.50 euro (single ticket) instead of the expensive X7 bus.
Buy a transport day pass instead of single tickets. Grocery shops (especially Lidl/Aldi) are far cheaper than eating out. Avoid tourist-area cafes along Karl-Marx-Strasse; walk 5 minutes for the same coffee at half price.
