Tipping

Tipping customs vary across Europe, and it’s important to follow local etiquette to show appreciation without over-tipping.

France: Service is often included in the bill, but leaving an additional €1-2 for good service is appreciated.
Germany: A 5-10% tip is typical, with the exact amount usually rounded up when paying directly to the waiter.
Italy: A service charge is usually added, but leaving €1-2 for excellent service is common.
Spain: Tipping isn’t obligatory but rounding up or leaving 5-10% in restaurants is polite.
United Kingdom: If a service charge isn’t included, tipping 10-15% of the bill is standard.

Quick Tip: Always check the bill for a service charge before tipping — many restaurants in Europe already include it in the total.
