I'm going to Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Salzburg, Munich and London in September. What are the best Bitcoin places I can visit? I do intend to spend as much BTC as I can For clarification: I don't have that much BTC only about 0.9 but y'all get the point.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Berlin is home to the "Bitcoin Kiez" - meaning something like a part of town, where Bitcoin is accepted. You have several bars and restaurants as well as a handful of other shops accepting Bitcoin there. Check it out here: http://bitcoinhood.wordpress.com/London also has its first Bitcoin accepting pub, find out more here: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-06/17/london-bitcoin-pubNot sure about the other places. Pretty sure Prague doesn't have any places accepting Bitcoin yet (but I might be wrong, do your research). Same with Vienna. You might want to visit Bratislava (70km from Vienna) there is a hackerspace called "Progress bar" which accepts Bitcoin and you might get a beer or some food there for btc.

In Munich there's the Niederlassung ( http://niederlassung.org/ or see coinmap.org) that accepts Bitcoins, and in Vienna a model railway shop (or so) accepts Bitcoins but AFAIK unfortunately not yet any bar or restaurant.

This particular Kiez is like a single street last I checked. well yes, it's two streets actually but I get your point. The "Kiez" designation is probably something they aspire and strive for than an accurate description of the current situation. Anyway, everyone should go there and support it. I went this May and spent around 0.3btc over several days on coffee, beer and food I have to say it was a great experience paying with my smartphone with btc after enjoying a nice meal and some beers

Hey Plazmotech, did you manage to spend some bitcoins in the end?
Just back from Berlin a few hours ago.. and I visited Kreuzberg, nice area! I went with some friends to Room77, small pub in the area very well known. They do accept bitcoins and I must say the process was very fast, no more than 5 seconds and I paid for our beers. The pub has a huge illuminated Bitcoin symbol and many signs inside. I must also say that it's not exactly like described in newspapers.. I just found two shops accepting bitcoins, Room77 and a records' shop, nothing more. But the experience was nice and the beer tasty!

I haven't gone yet! I'm leaving I believe on the 29th of August (I'd have to check though).
