Germany is a captivating blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Its impressive museums, monuments, and memorials provide deep insights into a long and storied past, while vibrant cities like Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg offer world-class nightlife, diverse cuisine, and cutting-edge art scenes. Venture into the countryside to discover pristine lakes like the Königssee, the enchanting Black Forest, or one of the many fairy-tale castles that inspired iconic stories, including Neuschwanstein Castle. Germany’s cultural calendar is equally enticing, from the festive celebrations of Oktoberfest, the world’s largest beer festival, to traditional Christmas markets that fill the air with the scent of mulled wine and gingerbread. Whether you're exploring the urban streets or the scenic countryside, Germany promises a memorable adventure at every turn.

Common Medications

While Germany boasts modern healthcare facilities, it's wise to travel prepared with essential medications. Travelers often pack over-the-counter remedies for motion sickness, headaches, and upset stomachs. Prescription medications like antibiotics for traveler’s diarrhea (e.g., Azithromycin) or antihistamines for allergies can also be helpful, especially when sampling local foods or adjusting to new environments. For added convenience, Runway Health provides access to FDA-approved medications through quick and simple online consultations, ensuring you have what you need before your journey begins.

Immunizations & Vaccinations

Before heading to Germany, confirm that your routine vaccinations are up to date, including measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP), and the annual influenza vaccine. Hepatitis A and B vaccinations are recommended for travelers who may consume food or beverages in less regulated settings. While Germany poses minimal health risks compared to tropical destinations, ensuring immunity against diseases like COVID-19 remains important. Consider consulting with a healthcare provider for any additional vaccines based on your personal health profile and travel itinerary.
