At a café…
When ordering food from a café counter in Europe, tipping
isn’t necessary or expected –so no need to bust out the extra change.
At a bar…
Tipping your bartender in Europe isn’t expected but giving
them one or two euros for great service is always appreciated and totally welcome.
At a restaurant…
Contrary to popular belief, there really is no obligation
to leave a tip at a European restaurant. If you do feel that your service was
exceptional and want to leave a tip, try not to exceed 10% of the bill, as anything
more would be considered excessive. Keep in mind, the service may already be
included in your final bill in some countries (i.e, service in France), so be
sure to factor that in before leaving a tip. Cash tips are also recommended.
Your shuttle driver…
Though unnecessary, your shuttle driver would certainly
appreciate one or two euros per bag if they help you carry your luggage to the
bus.
Your taxi driver…
A safe bet is to round to the nearest five euros for a
shorter ride, or to the nearest ten for a longer commute.
Your doorman/bellhop…
One or two euros is the perfect way to say thank you to
your doorman or bellhop for helping you with your luggage.
Your housekeeper…
A couple euros is sufficient when tipping your housekeeper
after your stay on vacation.
