Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs inside Palermo for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and tourist spots which give poor rates and high fees.
Cards widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants, and shops; contactless and mobile pay (Apple/Google Pay) work in most places, but keep cash for small street vendors, markets, and some cafes.
Tipping is not expected or required; rounding up the bill or leaving small change (€1–2) is appreciated for good service in restaurants, but not for taxis or hotel staff.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget

For affordable clothes and shoes, browse the Ballarò market stalls or the high-street shops on Via Roma (H&M, Zara) and around Via Maqueda.
