Use ATM withdrawals from bank-owned machines (Sparkasse, Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank) for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Köln/Bonn Airport and tourist centres – they mark up heavily.
Visa and Mastercard widely accepted in supermarkets, chain stores, and sit-down restaurants; many smaller cafés and bakeries are cash-only, so keep €20–€50 in your wallet.
Round up to the next euro in cafés and bakeries. In restaurants, 5–10% rounded up to a neat total is standard (e.g., €18.50 → €20). Taxis: round up to the nearest euro. Hotel porters: €1–2 per bag.

Aldi, Netto, and Lidl are the budget supermarket chains — all within a 10–15 minute walk from most points in 50679.

Buy a VRS 24-hour ticket for unlimited travel if you’ll take more than two tram rides. Eat at Imbiss stands (Kebab, Currywurst) rather than sit-down restaurants for lunch. Stick to tap water (Leitungswasser, free in your accommodation) and avoid bottled water at shops.
