Germany - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution

The U.S. Department of State lists Germany at Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution) due to terrorism. Terrorist groups and lone actors remain a constant threat in Germany and Europe, attacking people in public locations with knives, small arms, rudimentary explosive devices, and vehicles, potentially with little or no warning. Potential targets include tourist locations, transportation centers (airports, train or bus stations), markets and shopping malls, local government facilities, hotels, clubs and restaurants, places of worship and educational institutions, parks, major sporting and cultural events, and schools.
