More about Germany costs
A visit to Germany is quite inexpensive but the costs you incur really depend on the travel lifestyle you're after. Prices are much lower during off-peak seasons. Backpack travelers will never run out accommodations as there are more than 600 hostels in the country. Budget travel only costs between 40.00 EUR (57.41 USD) and 70.00 EUR (100.47 USD) daily, but for this low cost you'll have to minimize your entertainment. Midrange accommodations cost about 80.00 EUR (114.82 USD) for a double room in major cities while the provinces only charge 60.00 EUR (86.11 USD).
Families can take advantage of the hostels and hotels that offer three to four beds in one room. If your entire family fits in one bed, some hotels don't charge for the extra persons. Meals are also affordable, costing about 5.00 EUR (7.18 USD) to 10.00 EUR (14.35 USD) in cafes and casual restaurants. Special discounts are given to children in their kids' menu. Meals that include a glass of beer or wine will cost between 20.00 EUR (28.70 USD) and 30.00 EUR (43.06 USD) each. Restaurants tend to overcharge for drinks, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. Car rentals average at about 45.00 EUR (64.58 USD) and are the cheapest way for a large group to get around. Take advantage of cheap public transportation rates by buying day passes instead of one-way tickets.
