Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at airports and tourist offices as they mark up heavily.
Visa and Mastercard widely accepted in shops and restaurants; contactless and mobile pay (Apple Pay, Google Pay) common for small amounts. Cash still needed for market stalls and some small bars.
Tipping not expected but rounding up the bill (e.g., €1–2) for good service in restaurants is fine. Taxis: round up to nearest euro. Hotel staff: no standard tip, but €1–2 for porters if helping with bags.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Espresso at a bar counter: about €1.00–1.20. Standing is cheaper than sitting.
Pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) or a panino from a deli: around €5–7. Many bars offer a cheap lunch menu (primo + acqua) for about €8–10.
A pizza margherita or a pasta dish in a trattoria: about €7–10 for the main. Avoid touristy central spots in the centre.
No dedicated street-food district; look for bakeries (forni) selling arrosticini (skewered lamb) or porchetta sandwiches near the central market area on market days.
Conad, Coop, and Lidl are the main budget supermarket chains in this area.
High-street shopping is limited; try the market stalls near Piazza Duomo for budget clothing (T-shirts, basics). Otherwise, head to the mall at L'Aquila Ovest.
Walking is the cheapest way around the historic centre. For farther areas, a single bus ticket costs about €1.20; no day pass is worth it unless you do many trips. From the airport (Pescara), take a bus to L'Aquila (about €8–10 one way).
1. Buy your lunch at a supermarket or market for half the price of a restaurant. 2. Get coffee standing at the bar, never seated. 3. Take the bus from the airport to the city centre rather than a taxi.
