Germany is a very developed European country. The natural environment here is well protected, and the countryside and the city are distinct, giving people a feeling of paradise. People here live very comfortably. Let's share with you what apps and precautions you need to download for German tourism.

I couldn't sleep on the third day of my trip to northern Europe and wanted to go back to China after three days.

So I plan to write an article about my four-month experience in Germany, pure dry goods.

1. This is really an important photo. It can be said that after downloading these apps, what is wrong with Germany (for me)?

Domestic preparations:

Step 1: A treasure must buy a calling card Vodafone as shown in Figure 2.

It can be said that buying the status of China Mobile in advance saves time and effort.

Seventy or eighty dollars can have a G/28 day. After using 3G and 4G, it will be unlimited 2G (nothing will get stuck when chatting).

Make free calls with the same operator.

You can change it when you get on the plane, and then make sure there is a password on the back of the card.

Every time the phone is turned on, it must be entered (Baidu has a way to set it, and it doesn't need to be unlocked. I don't think it's necessary, so if you haven't tried it before, it's convenient for you.

Remember! Don't forget the four-digit password! Otherwise, it will be difficult.

Step 2: change a Huaxia bank card into euros (Figure 3).

The main reason for pushing this card is that the first overseas cash withdrawal every month is free.

If you bring a visa card, you can get 5 pounds for free. )

In the past, the euro was not enough. Agricultural Bank of China withdraws 1 0,000 euros, after deducting the handling fee of 80-90 RMB. The handling fee for blood loss is not small, so it is really convenient to apply for this card.

This card is called "Longxing Wuzhou". Remember not to make mistakes.

(ps: generally withdraw cash from a bank like Sparkasse.

The red sign is conspicuous, and there is a small dot on S that is easy to recognize.

Many of these widely distributed shops can be cashed out through UnionPay.

Deutsche bank can't serve, and its attitude is not very good. )

Step 3: Download the necessary applications.

Maps: Google Maps

Although Baidu map is my favorite, Google abroad is still very easy to use.

When I was looking for a bank in # Cologne

The search volume of Baidu map is far less than that of Google map.

Being located in a far place for a long time, the direction keeps drifting.

Later, I gave up using Google and found one near 250m m.

Bus: VRT Figure 4 Train: DB

It's all from local German students. Just watch VRT by bus.

Select Trips(AtoB), then enter your departure place and arrival place, and automatically jump out of the fastest bus route.

And you can choose to display the bus stop name (Google query software is recommended for bus stop names). The map is too small to navigate.

Yes, DB can also query the ticket price at that time and so on (usage is similar to skipping and not talking, just like VRT).

Gourmet: Yelp (German public comment)

Amway, a German graduate student, gave it to me. It is really useful.

(As I open the software in Hungary now and it doesn't display, please take a screenshot next time. )

This software will mainly recommend some special restaurants, all of which are reviewed by foreigners and can be translated and viewed.

You can also choose the price order (one euro is the cheapest symbol and four euros is the most expensive symbol), and don't be afraid of losing the price.

Another advantage is that you can't see the menu when you eat. You can point out the dishes you want to eat to the clerk according to the customer evaluation pictures on the app, which saves a lot of trouble in ordering food (ordering food is the hardest! )

Language: There are translators and German assistants.

A translation can be directly translated by taking photos (such as menu files), but it must be clear. Not only can't recognize all the words, but some words can be translated one by one, and most of the contents can be understood.

German assistants must be used with care. If they use it too much, they will charge for it. I have used it several times before for free, mainly for accurate translation of key words (generally used by German learners).

Traffic consultation: Vodafone owner

This is only for people who use Vodafone cards! I don't know about other operators.

When using traffic, you can look at your phone bill balance and traffic balance.

If you open the app while using Wi-Fi, a very complicated page will pop up, and you need to enter a lot of things, so it is not recommended to query when using Wi-Fi.

Don't be afraid.

You can show this ticket unlimited times in the designated area.

1. When you buy a ticket, you will be given two pieces of paper. Be sure to bring it.

If you can't find the ticket through the inspection, it will be regarded as evasion, and the fine will be very high, which will leave a bad credit record.

The train can only take the local train. If you want to take an IC test or something, you have to buy another ticket.

There are group tickets on weekends. It's very cost-effective to take a 24-hour free train (local train) in Germany for up to five people! You can choose to buy this if you want to go back and forth on the same day. You can figure out how to save the most money by yourself.

Germany is famous for its big pig's trotters sausage beer.

Salty taste. I like everything with potatoes. It is also a large amount.

Usually a person orders a dish, such as pizza, and eats it by himself.

If a group of people want to order a lot of dishes and try a little, they can tell the waiter.

They will give you more plates (don't be embarrassed, in fact, they understand cultural differences).

Although drinks are expensive, you must order drinks. The tip is generally 5- 10%.

Remember to have afternoon tea/dessert/ice cream.

Really cheap and delicious!

Weather: Take your coat and umbrella.

Germany belongs to a place with a large temperature difference between day and night. You can wear a thin coat sooner or later.

It usually doesn't rain, so the weather forecast is not accurate. Just in case, you can take a lighter umbrella.

Accommodation: airbnb finds a hotel to book a hotel.

The hotel star standard here is not comparable to that in China. Remember to bring your own slippers, toothbrush and ointment. They don't provide disposable goods (for environmental protection).

Choose a good foothold (public security is the most important)

Do more raiders in advance in case you find scary places.

Relatively safe Germans also have good English and can communicate with each other (French/Italian English is not very good).

If you have any questions, they will answer you patiently over and over again (they are super careful every time they ask German students questions, and they will not be impatient with silly questions).

Germans are also very polite and pay great attention to the classification of sanitary waste (posted separately next time)

If something is left behind, I can ask questions. I will try my best to reply to this article (I can't write so many papers).
