Destination-specific money tips
- •While major credit cards are accepted in most tourist areas, always carry some cash for smaller shops, markets, and local trattorias.
- •Turin is known for its excellent chocolate and pastries; look for 'artigianale' (artisanal) shops for the best quality.
- •The 'aperitivo' culture is strong; many bars offer a generous buffet of snacks with your drink, making it a cost-effective light dinner.
- •Public transport tickets must be validated on board to avoid fines; look for the small machines on trams and buses.
- •While not obligatory, leaving a euro or two for exceptional service at a restaurant is a kind gesture.
