No. As an EU citizen, a valid Citizen Card or passport is sufficient to enter Germany (Schengen area); as a rule, there are no controls at internal borders, although they may be temporarily reintroduced in exceptional circumstances.
The official currency is the euro (€), with international cards widely accepted. The official language is German, but English is widely spoken as a second language, especially in hotels, restaurants and tourist areas.
Try currywurst (sausage with curry sauce), very popular in Berlin, schnitzel (breaded cutlet), bratwurst (grilled sausage in bread), and Bavarian white weißwurst, served with sweet mustard.
The network is operated by Deutsche Bahn, with the ICE high-speed train being the fastest option between major cities. From Berlin, Hamburg is about 2 hours and 30 minutes away and Munich about 4 hours and 50 minutes on direct trains.
The Christmas markets (Weihnachtsmarkt) generally take place from the second half of November until Christmas. In Berlin, the Gendarmenmarkt and the Charlottenburg Palace market stand out; the Christkindlesmarkt in Nuremberg, active since the 16th century, is the most famous in the country.
