Festivals Some festivals use porta potties in Germany, but others have what I can only describe as mobile trailer bathrooms. They're essentially a small bathroom on wheels, with real working sinks and toilets. These mobile toilets are manned by an attendant and, unlike at the mall or train station, you have to pay before you go in.
Fast-food places usually have a decent and fairly accessible "public" restroom. Timid people buy a drink they don't want in order to use the bathroom, but that's generally unnecessary (although sometimes the secret bathroom door code is printed only on your receipt). Even at American chains, be prepared for bathroom culture shock.
