Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs (Bancomat) for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at airports or tourist info points as they charge poor rates and fees.
Cards are widely accepted in supermarkets, chain stores, restaurants, and hotels; contactless and mobile pay (Apple Pay/Google Pay) work in most places; small bars or market stalls may prefer cash.
Not mandatory; round up the bill in restaurants (5-10% if service was good), leave small change for taxi drivers, and tip hotel staff a euro or two for carrying bags or cleaning.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A standing espresso at a bar: around €1-€1.20.
A panino or pizza al taglio from a bakery or bar: €5-€7.
A pizza or pasta main in a trattoria: €8-€12.
Look for bakeries and rosticcerie selling pizza by the slice, arancini, or filled panini; the old town streets (Corso Matteotti area) have several casual spots.
Conad, Lidl, and MD are the main budget chains; Conad is common inside the city walls, Lidl and MD on the ring roads.
The main shopping street Corso della Repubblica has a mix of affordable high-street brands (OVS, H&M, etc.); for cheap finds, try the weekly market on Saturdays at Piazza della Repubblica.
Walking covers the compact historic centre; for longer trips, the urban bus (ATM) single ticket is €1.30 or a day pass around €3.50; from the nearest airport (Ancona-Falconara), the cheapest way is the €2-€3 shuttle to Ancona station then the train (about €6-€8 to Macerata).
Buy coffee and snacks at the counter (not seated) to avoid service charges; have lunch at a bakery or pizza al taglio rather than a sit-down restaurant; use the 'benvenuto' discount card for museums if staying more than a day.
