How much is the tip?

You don't have to tip too much. In general, guests can refer to the plain code price of 10%. Here, I would like to introduce some European countries' tipping standards to you, hoping to be helpful to your travel. Germany-Germans' rigorous style is also reflected in tipping. Tipping in Germany is absolutely methodical. Tips for dining in Germany account for 5% of the total consumption-10%. For example, a meal is 50 marks, and the tip is at least 2.5 marks. When staying in a hotel, you must put a few marks of tips into the hands of the room cleaner, and especially thank her for her hard work. Because there is an unwritten rule in Germany: whoever helps me and does something for me, I will tip him 2-5 marks if I have a good impression on him. Austria-The proportion of tipping in restaurants, restaurants, barbershops and taxis in Austria is the same as that in Germany, ranging from 5% to 10%. In the hotel, the service staff who help you carry the box should tip 1 euro for each piece of luggage. The tip for cleaning staff is generally 1-2 euros per day. When you leave the hotel, the money should be paid directly to the hotel staff. Italy-When dining in an Italian hotel or restaurant, guests usually tip 10% at most. In cafes and bars, there will be special plates or piggy banks for tipping. In hotels, cleaning women usually pay 5 euros a week. You don't have to tip for taking a taxi, just make up the fare. If you go to Naples, a port city in southern Italy, it will be counterproductive. If the tip you give is too far from the taxi driver's expectation, something unpleasant is likely to happen, which will embarrass both sides. France-In a restaurant or cafe in France, if the service charge has been added to the meal fee and beverage fee, you can give it less appropriately. You don't have to tip in the hotel. If you go to a theater or cinema in Paris, you should tip the receptionist 1 to 2 francs. Netherlands-Strictly speaking, the Netherlands is a country without tipping system, but hotel baggage service requires tipping, which is generally 1 USD per piece of luggage, that is, 2.5 guilders. Room service charge is about 1 USD once. There is no hard and fast rule on the tipping of taxis and restaurants, which is generally 5% of the fare or meal-10%. Spain and Portugal-Generally speaking, after the waiter changes the money, the guest should leave the tip on the table. When you take a taxi, you usually charge 50 euro cents or the whole euro. People think it is particularly impolite to leave 2 euro cents and 5 euro cents as tips on the table. Britain and Ireland-Dining tip 10- 15% in Britain and no more than 10% in Ireland. If the "service charge" has been written on the bill, the guest can give less. If you only spend money at the bar counter, you don't need to tip. When you check into the hotel, you should give 1 euro to the person who carries the box to show your gratitude.
