Destination-specific money tips
- •While cards are widely accepted in tourist areas, always carry some cash for smaller shops, markets, and street food vendors.
- •Avoid using ATMs inside tourist shops or convenience stores; opt for those attached to reputable banks for better rates and lower fees.
- •Tipping isn't a strict custom, but a small gratuity (rounding up or 5-10%) for excellent service in restaurants is appreciated.
- •Be aware of 'coperto' (cover charge) in many restaurants, which is per person and not a tip.
- •While Naples is generally more affordable than Rome or Florence, be mindful of tourist traps around major attractions; venture a few blocks away for better value.
