We recommended that you plan on spending about $1000 - 1500 to cover the costs of meals, laundry, film, emergencies, and other incidentals while you are in Freiburg. Of course, some people spend more and some people spend less. The amount for personal expenses is intended to provide a reasonable minimum estimate for groceries, meals, travel within the city, laundry, minor emergencies, etc., however, this estimate does not include optional independent travel, personal entertainment, or currency fluctuations. You should do some research on your own about costs, think about what how you usually spend money when you are traveling and create a realistic budget for yourself.
ATM cards require a 4 digit pin—be sure you have one before you leave. MasterCard and Visa are widely accepted in Europe and will also give you the best exchange rate. Traveler’s checks such as American Express and Thomas Cook will be accepted at banks and currency exchanges but may require that you pay a commission fee. Don’t rely solely on one method of getting money; have a back up. Make sure to inform your bank that you will use your ATM card in Europe. Also ask them if they have a correspondence bank where you will not be charged a service fee each time you draw some money. (e.g. BA is correspondence bank to Deutsche Bank).
