Driving in Straubing

Driving in Straubing is not as intimidating as it may seem. But beware, some rules deviate from what we are used to in the UK. Vehicles are driven on the right-hand side of the road, and freeways (Autobahnen) in Germany do not have a general speed limit. However, there is a recommended 'advisory' speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph). It's crucial to obey the local speed limits, as these vary depending on the area.

Tips for British Tourists

The official language is German, although English is widely spoken. Germany uses the Euro as currency, and card payments are accepted almost everywhere. However, small shops and stalls might prefer cash. The climate can be colder than in the UK, so pack your clothes accordingly. Lastly, enjoy the typical Bavarian cuisine, starring world-renowned German beer and delectable sausages!
