Directions to Ibis Hotel in Berlin from Tegel Airport

[Andrej Mitrovic via Digitalmars-d]

It's really not so bad anymore as it used to be. Credit cards are
accepted in most stores or supermarkets, even "Netto" which is a
discount-store and which started accepting Visa just last year. Other
stores like "Real" and "Kaisers" will accept Visa, even many small
shops will accept it.

Then again the Burger King at Alexanderplatz will for some reason
*not* accept any credit card, while the McDonalds which is ~50 meters
away will.

This is assuming you want to eat at those places while you're in
Berlin, obviously there's great food here that you could try rather
than go to the familiar fast-food chains.. If you're going to go for a
döner kebab prepare some cash!

In some cases they might ask you for your ID (e.g. passport).
