Local Tips
Many shops close early (by 6 PM) and on Sundays, so plan ahead for groceries. Public transport is reliable but limited in frequency; cycling is a great way to get around.
Cultural Etiquette
Tipping is customary but modest (round up the bill or 5-10%). Dress casually but neatly. Greet shopkeepers when entering or leaving with a polite 'Grüezi.'
Safety Warnings
Stein is very safe with low crime rates. Exercise normal caution at night and near the Rhine, as riverbanks can be slippery.
Hidden Gems
Find the secluded Schupfart hills for panoramic views and quiet hikes, or explore the lesser-known riverside picnic areas south of the main center.
