Important people to contact @ home in case of emergency (their
phone and email addresses) -
Any medical conditions that you may have requiring special
attention, food allergies, etc.
Notify your credit card company that you will be traveling in Germany. The # is on the back of the credit card(s) you will be taking.
- If you are a premium member for your credit card, you will not have to pay Europe transaction fees.
- Double check your ATM card to be sure you qualify for no transaction fees
Consider bringing 100 Euro’s before you arrive in Munich. No need to bring more, we will stop at a bank ATM soon after arrival. These give the best rates for withdrawing cash.
- We discuss how to use your credit card in Europe when we get there.
- Spoiler Alert – Always charge EVERYTHING in EURO (you get ripped off if you choose to have it paid in U$D.
Phone and iPad prep
-
Call your phone service to have them walk you thru on how to TURN OFF the data function of your phone
- This is VERY IMPORTANT as it will save you lots of $$
- Ask your phone company for a SHORT-TERM International Call plan (Germany from September 15 - September 21, 2026 or however long you plan)
- I recommend you download WhatsApp. It will allow you free calling and messaging to others with WhatsApp.
- If you have an iPad you may want to see if it is associated with a Phone # and you may have to do same set up with phone company
- Bring your computer. Nothing needs to be done to prepare. You will need a power converter that can plug in anywhere there is an internet connection.
CLOTHES
- Bring casual comfortable warm clothes and closed toe shoes. We will be doing quite a bit of walking.
- The weather is like ours this time of the year, but evenings may be colder, so I suggest layers including a jacket, sweater, and long sleeve shirts as well as a light windbreaker that is also water resistant.
- You may want to consider bringing some traditional Bavarian clothes (lederhosen etc.) and look like a native.
- Small travel umbrella
EXTRA FUN STUFF!
- You will be enjoying lots of local Bavarian attractions including Brewery tour and a day in the tent at Oktoberfest opening weekend and more.
- Local Bavarian beer, food, and traditions.
-
To avoid jet lag
- Try to sleep on plane over
- Drink plenty of water (there is lots of beer once you arrive)
- Wear loose shoes on the plane
