Do's & Dont's in Germany

The Do's in Germany are as follows:
  • Germans are very punctual. If you are visiting some body's house, it is better that you reach there in time.
  • When you are meeting someone, greet him by shaking hands. You should look into the person's eyes while greeting him or her. You can even bow to greet someone.
  • Use the formal pronoun "du" when talking to elderly people.
  • Wear formals when going for business meetings. This is preferred by the Germans.
  • Take some small gifts while visiting someone's house.
  • It is better to know a little bit of German before arriving in Germany.
  • Make sure you have proper medical insurance when visiting this country.

The Don'ts in Germany include:


  • If you are going to a German restaurant, then do not wait to be seated. It is common to share tables with a stranger and hence you can do the same. However, do not strike up a conversation with them.
  • Make sure you do not get drunk in a bar and move in public. Public drunkenness is not appreciated especially in Bavaria.
  • Do not chew gum while talking to people as it is considered as bad manners in Germany.
  • When eating, do not put your elbows on the table, it is considered bad manners. Only your hands should be on the table.
  • Do not litter the streets with paper wrappers. There are dustbins everywhere and you should throw the litter in these bins.
