Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in town; avoid currency exchange desks at airports or tourist bureaux — they give poor rates and high fees. Banks and post offices offer fair rates.
Chip-and-PIN cards are widely accepted in shops, restaurants and for public transport; contactless and mobile pay (Apple Pay, Google Pay) are common for small amounts. Some smaller markets and bakers are cash-only.
Tipping is not expected. Service is included in restaurants, but leaving small change (€1–2) for good service is appreciated. Taxi drivers don't expect a tip; rounding up is fine. Hotel staff: €1–2 per bag for porters, not necessary for housekeeping.

SuperU, Intermarché, Leclerc are the main budget supermarkets; Carrefour is common but pricier. Lidl and Aldi are further out on the ring road.
