Question
What's the best way to pay for things in Italy?
Answer
💳 Money & Payments • Credit Cards: Most restaurants, hotels, and shops accept major credit cards (Visa/Mastercard). American Express is less common, so it’s good to have a backup card. • Cash: Smaller cafés, taxis, and rural shops may be cash only, so having some euros on hand is helpful. You can withdraw euros from ATMs once you arrive in Italy, this is often cheaper than exchanging at the airport. • Tipping: Tipping is appreciated but more modest than in the U.S. Rounding up the bill or leaving 5–10% at restaurants is customary.
