Usually you say "Wo ist die Toilette?" or "Wo sind die Toiletten?" |

Watch for signs which say Herren (Men) or Damen (women) also. |

Yes, we call it "Toilette" and not bathroom as we only go there for a pee and washing hands afterwards and not for taking a shower. A bathroom is the place we usually are taking a shower or a bath. Many toilets and bathrooms are seperated in Germany. We are not upset using the word "toilet" if we need to go there because this is a normal word and not a dirty one. But I know from a couple of English speaking natives that you seldom call it toilet. |

Just say,
"Wo ist das Klo?"
("Where's the loo?")
That's perfectly alright in German. You don't have to disguise human needs.
When you're in a public area, like a train station or shopping center, the signs read "WC" (for "water closet"). Follow the arrows, but be ready to get charged for it, something between 50 euro-cents and 1.50 euros. |

I would ask, "Wo ist die Toilette bitte? or Wo sind die Toiletten bitte?"
Don't rely on online translators, generally the natives have it 100%.
Alwin is correct about the WC signs and costs. |

Wo sind die Toiletten: Where are the toilets.
Damen--women
Herren-men
Also, many public washroom require a small tip, or are serviced by men/women looking to tips. It's part of the service industry there. |

There's no correct way, just use the one you're
more comfy with. You won't get sent to a KZ if
you say "Where is the bathroom?"
LoL
I know, I have a very weird humour and like to make
fun of my countries past... |
