| Weather
|
| |
During the summer daytime temperatures reach a pleasant 23 degrees Celsius (74 degrees Fahrenheit) and rainfall is minimal. The winters are cold but rarely extreme and even though snowfall is common throughout most of Germany, it doesn't often cause any inconvenience in Berlin.
|
| Banks |
| |
Banks can be found on
almost every corner in Berlin. Normal business hours are 9:00am to 4.00pm Monday to Friday; some of them have longer hours on Thursdays.
Most of the banks in the city have 24-hours
ATMs. The exchange rate at the ATMs is very good, so the only extra fee
you'll pay is whatever your bank at home charges for international withdrawals |
| Currency
|
| |
The currency used in Germany is the Euro. Notes come in denominations of 100, 50, 20, 10 and 5 and the coins in use are 2, 1, 0.50C, 0.20C, 0.10C, 0.05C, 0.02C and 0.01C.
|
| Tipping
|
| |
Service charges are usually added to restaurant and hotel bills in Berlin, thus making tipping unnecessary. It is standard to tip taxi drivers, usually 5-10% of the fare.
