It is better to specify in advance whether the staff at restaurants and cafes accepts tips. Tips may be included in the total at some restaurants, and there may be no tips accepted at certain dining establishments. Some restaurants prefer to cook food right in front of guests, and some restaurants even allow clients to go to the kitchen and choose the food they like.
All taxis have meters. Taxi drivers will also be grateful for a small reward. A tip of 0.5 – 1 euro is more than enough. It is also possible to round up the total to the nearest convenient amount.
It should be noted that some taxi drivers have nothing against tricking foreign tourists. They do not turn the meter on deliberately and tell the higher due sum. Such violations are prone to large fines, so clients should remember the car’s number and report the violation to the tourist bureau or the police.
