Bamberg, Germany

What should I pack when moving to Bamberg?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Bamberg to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Bamberg, you should pack clothing suitable for a temperate seasonal climate, including warm clothing for winter months and lighter clothing for summer. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as rain can be frequent. Pack your important documents such as passport, visa, driver's license, birth certificate, and medical records. If you're moving for work or study, remember to bring any necessary paperwork related to your employment or education. Bring your electronics, including your laptop, smartphone, and chargers. However, keep in mind that Germany uses Type F power sockets, so you may need to bring adapters or converters. If you take prescription medication, bring an adequate supply along with a copy of your prescription. Pack personal hygiene items and toiletries, although these can also be easily purchased once you arrive. You might want to bring some of your favorite non-perishable food items, especially if they might be hard to find in Germany. If you're planning to drive in Germany, bring your international driving permit and a copy of your car insurance. Pack some personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or favorite books. Lastly, don't forget to bring enough cash or a way to access money until you can set up a bank account in Germany," remarked another expat who made the move to Bamberg, Germany.
