Germany entry requirements
British nationals do not need a visa to travel to Germany.

Germany health
Travellers to Germany should obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which does not replace travel insurance, but allows you to receive emergency treatment on the same terms as a German person. The EHIC can be obtained for free from the Post Office.

Travellers should ensure they are covered by adequate travel insurance.
