Tipping
In many service areas, such as restaurants, taxis, hairdressers, serviced filling stations, etc., a tip is traditionally given. This is normally 5 to 10 percent, with the exact amount depending on the level of satisfaction with the service provided. Please take a look at the bill. If the tip is already included, do not pay it again.

Credit Cards
The most popular credit cards are usually accepted in Austria, although sometimes their use is subject to a minimum purchase amount. Credit cards, although accepted in hotels, major restaurants and stores, are less used for purchases in small shops, cafes, or grocery stores. We recommend to check with the venue before. You can use your Maestro card (bank ATM card) almost everywhere - especially in shops - even for small amounts.
