On cost, Germany is mid-priced for travelers: everyday prices sit at about 76 on a global index where the United States is 100. See how Germany compares to 179 countries.

Pack a plug adapter: Canadian devices use Type A/B/NEMA 14-30/NEMA 14-50, but Germany uses Type C/F. Voltage differs too (230/400 V there versus 120/240 V, 120/208 V, 347/600 V at home), so check for a dual-voltage label before plugging in. Full plug and voltage guide for Germany.
