Responds information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
On January 1, 1999, the official currency of Germany became the EUR (the international letter code EUR, digital 978). Then these banknotes were introduced into the system of non-cash settlements in parallel with the German mark. Three years later, from January 1, 2002, EUR becomes the main means of payment for the population. Prior to that, the main money for the Germans remained stamps consisting of 100 pfennings. They were the only currency of the German Empire since 1870.

How much does the EUR take with them, going on a trip to Germany? It is difficult to answer unequivocally, because the idea of ​​what can be called a well-provided rest for everyone is different .It is officially considered that a tourist who visits the country must have at least 25 EUR per day if he lives with relatives or friends (he is traveling by invitation) and from 50 if he is planning to rent a room at the hotel..Taking into account the purchase of souvenirs, the desire to visit the excursion or sit in a cafe, it is worth throwing half of this amount or the same amount of $$.If you take from the calculation of 100 EUR per day, it should be enough for restaurants with souvenirs, and for transfers between cities with visits to museums in them .
