The City Is Yours

 

Common Courtesies
In most cafés and restaurants, a 10% bedienung (service charge) is factored into your bill if a waitress or waiter serves you; additional tipping is optional, but common courtesy dictates rounding to the highest euro or even the next five euros. In hotels, tip porters one to two euros per bag and chambermaids the same per day of service. It's usual to tip lavatory attendants fifty cents.
