I'm heading to Germany for a couple of weeks in September.
I have been told a few things by some friends, and I am not sure if I believe them:
-Apparently they don't like credit cards there. That doesn't make much sense to me, in the year 2018. I try to use my credit card as often as possible when I travel, it minimizes the amount of cash I need to carry.
-Tipping... apparently it is rude to leave the tip on the table?
Also, I will be renting a bicycle at least one day.
It seems like they have a pretty comprehensive public bike rental system.
Would I have trouble getting a bike?
Just trying to decide if I need to bother pre-booking with a rental place, or just rely on the ad hoc street-side rental system.
Any advice?
