Sightseeing in Dachau - what to see. Complete travel guide

1. The main pride of Dachau is Bavarian beer, which all travelers strive to try. When choosing a bar, vacationers should be especially careful. Avoid recently opened restaurants and street cafes, which are found literally on every street. The best option is to spend time in one of the modest bars that have long won the trust of locals.
2. When visiting gastronomic institutions, one should take into account one important feature. At the entrance to any restaurant or bar, it is customary to greet all those present and wish them a good meal. Such a greeting should certainly be responded appropriately.
3. Local people are quite wary about foreigners, having a bit of distrust towards them. However, it's quite easy to get in good with the townspeople - just learn a few phrases in their native language and behave politely when communicating.
4. One of the most popular forms of transport is the bicycle, which is often used by children and old people. A two-wheeler can be rented from one of the many rental points. The longer the rental period, the lower the price is.
5. Pedestrians should be especially careful not to confuse special bike lanes with sidewalks. Car enthusiasts should keep in mind that any violations of traffic rules are subject to heavy fines. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
6. Before visiting foreign friends, be sure to stock up on small gifts for the hosts. Small souvenirs, good alcohol or flowers would be appropriate. Exchanging modest gifts with new friends is also appreciated, being considered a sign of good manners.
7. One of the most important elements of communication is a handshake. Keep in mind that both men and women should be greeted with a handshake. Locals are very punctual, so being late for a meeting can be a serious reason for resentment.
