6 things to know before going to the movies in Germany

Get your ticket early, come late

While Germans are (in)famous for reserving their poolside lounge with a towel while on vacation, there's no need to bring towels to the cinema. In most cases, you can request a seat assignment when you buy your ticket. That means you can buy ahead of time and show up just as the curtain rises, rather than waiting in line for hours to avoid the front row.
