Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
ATMs in Manerba town give fair rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Verona or Brescia airports and tourist-focused kiosks on lakeside promenades.
Most restaurants, hotels and larger supermarkets accept Visa/Mastercard contactless; small bars, market stalls and some agriturismi prefer cash, so carry €50–100.
Not expected but appreciated: round up the bill at restaurants (5–10% for good service), leave a euro or two for hotel cleaners, and round up taxi fares or give €1–2.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget

A panini or pizza al taglio (by the slice) from a bakery or bar is around €5–7.

No dedicated street-food zones; grab pizza al taglio or focaccia from bakeries and bars in the main piazza or along the port front.

Limited clothing shopping in Manerba; head to Desenzano del Garda or Salò for affordable high-street brands like OVS, or the Saturday market in Salò for cheaper basics.
Cheapest way around is walking or renting a bike (€10–15/day from local shops); for longer trips, the Brescia–Desenzano bus (about €2.50 one-way). From Verona airport, take the ATV bus to Verona Porta Nuova (€8), then a train to Desenzano (€5–8).
1) Buy water and picnic supplies at Conad or Lidl instead of lakeside kiosks. 2) Eat the fixed-price lunch menu (menù di lavoro) at trattorias—often €12–15 for two courses and a drink. 3) Skip pricey lake-hotel parking; park free in the hills above Manerba and walk down.
