Cultural Tip
In German, 'Reise' is a general term for any journey, while 'Urlaub' specifically refers to a vacation. When speaking with people you know well, the informal 'du' form is appropriate; with strangers or in a business context you would use the formal 'Sie' – e.g., 'Wann ist Ihre nächste Reise?'.
