Good to know before you go
Many shops close from 1-4pm, especially in smaller towns. Plan your shopping accordingly.
Restaurants add a per-person cover charge (€1-5) for bread and table service. This is normal!
Regional train tickets must be stamped at platform machines before boarding.
Cover shoulders and knees when visiting churches. Carry a scarf or shawl.
Standing at the bar is cheaper than sitting. Cappuccino is only for mornings!
Ask for "acqua del rubinetto" (tap water) - it\'s free and excellent in most cities.
