Free Internet:
Ticket holders receive a free 36-hour internet pass! The network covers a wide area beyond the city’s borders, allowing you to travel throughout the region on public transport. It is recommended to use public transportation to travel. Please note: There is no public parking at the Olympiastadion in Berlin and there is heavy traffic on match days, so it is recommended to avoid driving.
Tips for traveling in Germany:
- Easy German: Although learning German is not easy, mastering basic phrases such as “Bitte” (please) and “Danke” (thank you) is crucial to integrating into the local culture.
- Stay hydrated: German tap water can be drunk directly. Bring your water bottle to replenish water at any time at public water fountains.
- Tipping habit: Tipping is also a social habit in Germany. Rounding is common in restaurants, and in bars, tipping your waiter appropriately is considered recognition of good service.
- Cash is King: Although debit cards are widely accepted, cash is still the dominant payment method in independent eateries, bakeries and markets, so it’s smart to make sure you have cash on hand.
- Prompt purchase of necessary items: Most shops and supermarkets are closed on Sundays, so planning ahead and completing your shopping on Saturday is a must.
- Recycling water bottles: Germany attaches great importance to recycling. You can exchange empty bottles for cash by taking them to any supermarket.
