In restaurants bills always include service. An extra tip of 5-10 percent on top is customary. It’s best to leave tips in cash, even if paying by credit card.
If you’re eating tapas or snacks at a bar – just round up the bill to the nearest Euro.
Tip bar tenders €0.20 ($0.26) a drink, depending on the bar.
Taxi drivers expect no tip at all and are happy if you round up the fare especially if extra help with luggage is given. A tip of 5 percent of the total fare is considered very generous.
In hotels, porters receive €1 ($1.32) a bag; for room service and doorman €1. Tip the maid about €1 per night and the concierge from €1 for basic help to €5.
