WarningMost visits to Germany are trouble-free.
Travelers should be aware of the general threat from terrorism in Germany. Such attacks could be indiscriminate, including in public places frequented by expatriates and foreign travelers. On 4 September, three individuals were arrested and charged with membership of a terrorist organization. Although the German security authorities have averted serious terrorist attacks, they assess that the threat from terrorism remains high and urge individuals to maintain a high level of vigilance.
A number of British nationals have been arrested for possessing counterfeit currency. Travelers are advised against changing currency anywhere other than banks or legitimate Bureaux de Change.
