Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 2026-02-08
How We Earn Money
Discovering Germany contains affiliate links to hotels, tours, transport services, and travel products. When you click these links and make a purchase or booking, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
What This Means for You
- You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate links or go directly — there's no markup.
- Affiliate relationships never influence our recommendations. We only recommend places we've personally visited and services we've actually used.
- If we had a bad experience somewhere, we'll say so — even if they offer an affiliate program.
Our Partners
We may earn commissions from the following types of partners:
- Accommodation — hotel and resort booking platforms
- Tours & Activities — guided tour and activity booking services
- Transport — flight and ferry booking platforms
- Travel Gear — equipment and gear retailers
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Creating detailed, honest travel guides takes significant time and money — from the flights and ferries to get there, to the hours spent researching and writing. Affiliate commissions help us keep creating free content without resorting to intrusive advertising or paywalls.
Our Promise
Every recommendation on this site comes from real experience. Scott and Scott have personally visited, stayed at, or eaten at every place we recommend. If we haven't been there ourselves, we won't link to it.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255).
