Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure date with at least two blank pages. Since Brexit, UK passports are stamped on entry and exit, and UK nationals use the non-EU passport lanes.
Border officers can ask for proof of accommodation, return travel, and sufficient funds (Germany suggests EUR 45 per day). The 90-day limit is shared across all 29 Schengen states.
