Study: Big differences in tourist taxes. In many cities the tax also depends on the price of the overnight stay.
In Hamburg, vacationers and business travelers have to pay four euros if their room costs 200 euros per night. The tax is therefore calculated proportionately in many cities such as Berlin, Cologne, Bremen and Leipzig. The leaders with 7.5 percent are Dortmund and Flensburg. Tourists are often offered something in return for the tax, such as free entry.
