In Berlin, you can also check out the parliament building. You need to book your visit in advance online: http://www.bundestag.de/htdocs_e/visits/kuppel/kupp/245686 The views from the dome are pretty good, and the audio guide is quite good, and points out most of the buildings you can see.

Hi, I'm going to Poland and then Germany and want to pick up a SIM. I just found out that Polish sim cards don't do the EU roaming, so I wouldn't be able to keep using it into Germany. Is there a sim I can order online ahead of time that isn't a ripoff?

Lol, I just got a reply from Flixbus saying they would fix the double charge I had on my ticket. I did a chargeback through my credit card over a month ago.

Yeah, I was just posting about flixbus' lol-worthy online customer service. The app had double charged me, and I had already done a chargeback with my credit card. They just refunded me, about 2 months after I initially contacted them. I took a bus from Poland to Germany. It was a normal coach bus, and the bathroom was open. It was about a 5 hour ride, but we didn't make any stops where you could exit. Just a passport control stop going into Germany, and we made multiple stops in Berlin at different stations. I got off at ZOB and it was the last stop. One hold luggage was included in my ticket. The bus had wifi, but had a quota. There were some movies on the wifi, so I got to watch The Naked Gun 2 1/2. The app was decent for tracking, although the station had good signage and updates too. So pretty OK, even before I ended up with the free ticket.

Just heard that Poland is suspending all international flights and trains, and closing stores, bars, restaurants.

webmeister posted:On the topic of "download this app for <whatever tourist thing>", a special place in hell is reserved for the people who do this but don't make the app available on international app stores. We had this issue in places like Mexico and Brazil, where the bus company insists you download their app to buy and manage your tickets. But the app is only available on the Mexican/Brazilian app stores (or at least, not available on the Australian app store). Then after finally finding the app you find out it requires a local phone number to register. Found that with a few apps in Poland. I also found that one of my cards would decline when tapping my phone, but tapping the physical card was fine.

The secret police jail/museum is also good. IIRC, our guide was detained there.

It also should launch with EES. They will not stamp your passport, but will take a photo and fingerprints. Maybe you get to use automated entry lanes? It's not clear.

Get a credit card/ATM card without international fees.

I feel like 3 hours is a healthy layover to clear passport control. I usually go for 2-3 hours in my plans but don't know if cdg is especially bad. You will have to clear exit controls in cdg on your way out. It should be faster than your way in but I had a 90 minute wait in Frankfurt recently.

I've gotten into the US National Park Passport stamps. I know Japan has something similar in train stations and other tourist attractions. Is there anything similar in Europe? It's been hard to google, I mostly get postage stamps and questions about real passports. I'm going to Paris in May, and usually go to Poland at least once a year. Any tips on where to find some stamps, or even what to google to get better results?

Saladman posted:Yeah Lichtenstein Tourist Office and San Marino Tourist Office are the only ones I can ever remember seeing in Europe that are purely tourist stamps, i.e. no way to even get one officially. I have a notebook to use for this. I'm not going to waste space in my real passport.
