Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs inside bank branches for the best rate; avoid exchange bureaux at airports and tourist offices, which add fees and poor rates.
Major credit/debit cards are widely accepted in shops and restaurants, but smaller bars and market stalls often require cash for small amounts. Contactless and mobile pay work in most stores.
Tipping is appreciated but not expected: round up the bill in restaurants (5-10%), leave small change for short taxi rides, and tip porters a couple of euros.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A simple espresso at a bar counter costs around €1.00–1.20; sitting at a table usually doubles the price.
A sandwich or panino from a bakery or deli counter costs about €4–6.
A pasta or pizza main in a modest trattoria runs €10–13.
Look for small bakeries and street stalls selling pizza al taglio (by the slice, €2–3) and porchetta sandwiches in the historic centre on market days.
Conad and Coop are the main budget supermarket chains found in this area.
The main shopping street, Via della Repubblica, has a mix of affordable Italian chain stores (like OVS, Coin) and independent boutiques.
Walking is the best way to get around the compact centro storico; a regional bus ticket to nearby towns costs about €1.50 for a single fare from the main bus stop. The nearest airport is Perugia (PEG), reachable by direct bus (€3–5 one way). For budget airport transfer, the bus from Rome Fiumicino or Florence is cheaper than a taxi but takes longer.
Eat at bakeries or alimentari for lunch instead of tourist restaurants. Visit museums and monuments during free entry times (first Sunday of each month). Buy a multi-day bus pass if you plan to travel beyond Gubbio.

Top Attractions in Gubbio
💡 Stand at the top of the cavea for a clear view of the original acoustic design. Check the comune website for free concert dates in July.
💡 Go on 15 May for the Corsa dei Ceri, when huge wooden candles race from the main square up to this church. The cable car costs €6 return, but walking is free.
💡 Take the trail from the basilica to the Rocca Maggiore (ruins) — it adds 20 minutes but rewards with the best sunset panorama. No water fountains en route.
💡 Entry is €8, but the Palazzo dei Consoli's panoramic terrace is free. Skip the indoor galleries unless you want to see the Tables — the rest is filler.
