Business meetings in Wiesbaden generally start on time. A handshake and the formal Sie form are standard until a German-speaking counterpart offers first names; English is widely used in staffing and HR conversations.
Cash and cards
Cards are accepted at hotels and most city-centre businesses, but some smaller bakeries, kiosks and taxis still prefer cash. Carry a small amount of euros for incidentals around RheinMain CongressCenter.
Sunday closures
Many shops in Wiesbaden close on Sundays. Buy essentials, SIM cards or forgotten travel items on Saturday before the STAFFINGpro show days.
Tipping
Restaurant bills usually include service, but rounding up or adding around 5-10 percent is common when service is good. State the total you want to pay when handing over cash or card.
Language
German is the local language. English is common in the staffing and software exhibitor community at STAFFINGpro, but a few German phrases help in taxis and local shops.
Local setting
