Things To Do
in Pfullendorf

A small weekly market (check local schedule) where producers sell bread, cheese, seasonal fruit, vegetables and sometimes sausages; perfect for picnic supplies.

Throughout the year local festivals bring stalls with grilled specialties, pretzels and sweets — excellent for sampling regional street food in summer evenings.

Germans value punctuality — be on time for tours, appointments and social gatherings.

Use 'Sie' (formal you) with people you don't know and follow cues before switching to 'du' (informal).

Respect quiet hours (usually late night and midday in some areas) and keep in mind many shops close on Sundays; loud noise is frowned upon.

Waste separation is important: follow local recycling rules (paper, plastics, organic, residual) and check garbage schedules at your accommodation.

Rounding up the bill or leaving 5–10% in restaurants is customary when service is good (no need to tip heavily). For taxi drivers, small rounding up or a few euros is normal; hotel porters and hairdressers expect small tips.

Cash (euros) is still commonly used, especially in smaller businesses; many restaurants and shops accept cards (Debit/EC or credit) and contactless payments are increasingly common. Always check before assuming card payment; have some cash for markets and small vendors.
