Travel Advice

Warning

Most visits to Germany are trouble-free.

German authorities have confirmed that beansprouts and other shoots are the most likely source of the E.coli outbreak in Germany. The Foreign office in the UK advises that visitors continue to avoid eating raw bean sprouts and shoots.

There is a general threat from terrorism in Germany. Such attacks could be indiscriminate, including in public places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK has been aware of British nationals who have been arrested for possessing counterfeit currency. They advise against changing currency anywhere other than banks or legitimate Bureaux de Change.

Carry your passport with you at all times. German police have the right to ask to see identification.
