Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs inside the city for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and main tourist spots as they give poor rates and high fees.
Cards are widely accepted in supermarkets, most restaurants, and taxis, but cash is still essential for small shops, markets, and some cafes.
Not expected, but rounding up the bill or leaving a couple of euros in restaurants is appreciated. Taxi drivers don't need a tip; a small amount for hotel porters is fine if service is good.
