In Florence, you do not need to add an automatic percentage for routine service. A discretionary tip is voluntary; a cover or service charge on your bill is a separate matter. Small gestures can thank someone for extra help, while hotel luggage porters and tip-based walking-tour guides are distinct customary cases. In this guide When […]
Tipping in Málaga is voluntary, and leaving nothing is socially acceptable. A modest thank-you for good service is appreciated, but you do not need to add something to every bill.

For St Mark’s Basilica in Venice, choose clothing that covers your shoulders and knees.

You cannot smoke tobacco inside Prague’s restaurants, bars or cafés, but vaping follows a different rule and may be allowed by the venue.

Hotels set policies for private rooms, while Václav Havel Airport Prague restricts both smoking […]
You do not have to leave a discretionary tip for ordinary visitor services in Venice. Pay the bill’s actual charges, then decide whether the service deserves a small thank-you. Rounding up or leaving a modest amount is more customary than adding a fixed percentage. Restaurant cover charges and listed service charges are separate payments, so […]
Wear familiar clothes you can move in, secure shoes and removable layers for a night at Berghain. Trousers or jeans with a comfortable top are a straightforward choice, but a dress or skirt can work just as well if it lets you stand and dance freely. Start with clothes you already enjoy wearing rather than […]
Tipping in Berlin is optional, not compulsory. For good restaurant table service, leaving a little extra is customary, but for a counter order you collect yourself, there is no expectation to tip.
