Question
How do we get from the airport to Aschaffenburg?

There is a train that takes you from the airport to Aschaffenburg for cheap.

Question
Will my cell phone work in Germany?
Answer
Yes! Make sure you reach out to your cell phone provider before the trip to turn on International Travel. In my experience, for about $10-$15 per day you can use your cell phone on German towers and it will connect automatically if you opt in to this service. You can use your existing cell plan like normal with calls, data, text, internet, etc. This is very helpful when it comes to GPS navigation if you are driving or just walking around the city, and for keeping in touch with the wedding party.
Question
How do we get around?
Answer
If you stay in town, everything is in walking distance. For longer distances, or if you are planning on staying at the hotel within our wedding venue, you can easily grab a taxi for the ten minute ride from the town center. There is also a train station, which will connect you with the rest of Germany and Europe should you decide to keep traveling.
Question
Do I need to exchange currency?
Answer
You can do this in advance with your bank, but most convenient is to use your American debit card at an ATM in Germany which will automatically convert into Euros for you.
Question
What is the time difference?

Germany is 6 hours ahead of Eastern Time.
Question
If I need to know something on the day of the wedding, or if something goes wrong, who can I reach out to?

Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Yes! Just keep in mind the party will go late, but they are welcome! Please let us know if your kids will be joining so that we can let our caterers know.
