We continue to advise exercise normal safety precautions overall.

Depending on why you’re travelling and how long you plan to stay, you may require a visa for travel to the Schengen area. Check the European Entry and Exit (EES) and visa rules before you travel. If you’re a dual national of a European country, check whether the EES applies to you and what passport you should enter on. There may be delays at border crossings (see ‘Travel’).

There’s an ongoing threat of terrorism in Germany. Terrorist attacks could occur anywhere and at any time. There have been multiple attacks using vehicles or knives in recent years. Be alert in public places and report suspicious activity to the police (see ‘Safety’).

We advise:

Exercise normal safety precautions in Germany.
