    • Tipping.
    When tipping in Germany you do not leave a tip on the table but round the bill up to the amount you wish and just tell the waiter, ie. if you bill is 18 Euro and you want to tip 2 Euro, you just say 20 Euro.

    • Stammtisch.
    When you enter a bar, restaurant, etc. you will see one or more tables with a sign 'Stammtisch' on or over it. This is for regular customers, so do not sit there. You probably won't be served there anyway.

    Local Customs: 'ist hier noch frei"

    • Table for two?
    A lot of Restaurants have tables for 4, 6, 8, or 10 so it might be neccesary to share with others. This is quite usual all over Germany. The other people at the table will not interfere with you and you are not expected to communicate with them, other than a normal polite greeting when arriving and leaving. If you are in a large establishment and having trouble finding space and see sufficent space at another table just say 'ist hier noch frei'. if you get a 'ja', sit down. Also expect to be asked 'ist hier noch frei'

    Local Customs: Shopping Hours
  • Tip Rating:

    • Since July 2004, Shopping Hours in Germany are 9 am to 8 pm Monday to Friday and 9 am to 6 pm on Saturdays. This is general in the Cities but the smaller towns like Berchtesgaden still close at 6 pm on Monday to Friday and 1 pm on Saturdays.
    Supermarkets will open earlier.
    Sundays it's the railway station or a garage and while you can get everything there, expect to pay more.

     Fantastic tips and photos! The Eagle's Nest looks spectacular. Also, I will remember 'ist hier noch frei' on my trip to Germany next month. Best from New Jersey, Bill    		lostsooner55 Tue Oct 30, 2007 02:00 UTC
     I agree with you on the views from the Eagle's Nest. My number one travel mistake of all times was not taking my camera. I'm planning on going back in 2010, for the Passion Play, and will try to rectify that mistake then,lol. Gary
