The German currency is EURO (€). Check here for exchange rate: http://www.xe.com/

GOOD TO KNOW

The European currency means that visitors from most EU countries can use the same currency as at home without any problems.
For others, there are numerous currency exchanges and banks across the city where money can be exchanged for Euros or withdrawn from cash machines.

Important: whether you are shopping, in a restaurant or at the club, Berliners prefer to pay with cash. Debit cards and major credit cards (American Express, Visa, Mastercard) may often also be used, but smaller shops and cafés might only accept cash payments. Therefore, visitors should always have some euro bills and coins on hand.
