- •Authentic Neapolitan pizza is incredibly affordable; don't overpay at tourist traps.
- •While card acceptance is good, always carry some cash for smaller cafes, street vendors, and markets.
- •Be aware of 'coperto' (cover charge) at some restaurants, which is standard and not a tip.
- •ATMs attached to major banks like Intesa Sanpaolo or UniCredit generally offer better rates and lower fees than standalone machines.
- •Consider purchasing a Campania Artecard for access to multiple archaeological sites and public transport if planning extensive sightseeing.
