Question

What is the tipping etiquette in Italy?

Answer

There is no strict rule about tipping in Italy. Leaving a tip is entirely up to you and, in many cases, it will not be expected, albeit appreciated. Most restaurants apply a cover charge called "coperto", which is about 2 or 3 Euros per person. You may add a tip if service was acceptable and typically tipping is between 2 to 5 percent of the bill. Tipping is NOT required if there is a service charge on your bill.

Question

Should I have cash/Euros with me or are credit cards generally accepted in most places?

Answer

Definitely recommend that you check with your bank about debit and credit charges for international fees that may apply! There is seldom a need to exchange currency any more as most businesses accept major credit cards (Visa and MC, very few accept American Express), but if you have US dollars that would like to exchange for euros, there are exchange offices located around the downtown areas. They charge high commissions and may refuse to exchange large amounts of cash. Your safest and best bet is to use the ATM machines to withdraw cash from your debit card.

Question

Can I get an Airbnb instead of a hotel?

Answer

You can rent an Airbnb if you'd like, but you'll most likely have to rent a car or arrange for transportation in advance because most properties are located outside of the Amalfi town's center. This is important to know because the roads in Amalfi are narrow and winding; our wedding planner has advised that car rentals for international guests can be challenging. That said, select hotels listed in the "TRAVEL" section of our website are conveniently located within walking distance of Amalfi's town center. Also, guest concierge at the hotels can always assist with directions and booking transportation for you.
