A tip abroad

3. Tipping in France
A pourboire (“for drink”) of around 10-12.5% is usually added at the end of a meal and an evening at a bar. It’s uncommon to pay for your drinks as you go (instead you pay at the end), but if you are in this situation then you don’t need to tip with every drink. 
It is French law to include a service charge in the overall fee. This means tipping in Paris or any other part of France above and beyond the service charge isn’t necessary or an obligation, but appreciated. How much is up to you.
4. Tipping in Portugal
Tipping isn’t a big part of everyday life in Portugal, and most Portuguese people don’t usually give or receive tips themselves at all. But it’s still welcomed when it happens. 
Your tips can help to supplement the income of waiting staff, clerks and attendants, whose wages for such roles are among the lowest in any EU country.
If you do choose to tip, there are two main approaches: adding 5-10%of the bill or rounding it up to the nearest ten euros. 
5. Tipping in Austria
Tipping in Austria isn’t as common as it is in the rest of continental Europe, but service is still normally added to your bill (Rechnung). If you feel that your service has been excellent then leaving some extra euros will be welcome. 
6. Tipping in Poland
Tipping is expected for good service in restaurants in Poland, particularly in touristy areas like the capital, Warsaw and other cities such as Krakow. While it’s customary to tip 10% of the bill you can increase this to 15% if you found the service exceptional. If you’re dissatisfied, you don’t have to leave anything extra.
Tipping’s also common in hotels but again you’re under no obligation. You won’t see many bellhops or porters, so needn’t worry about tipping someone to take your luggage to your room. For taxi drivers, around 10 per cent of the bill is about right if you’re happy with the service. 
7. Tipping in Italy
Service charge (servicio) is often included in the bill, and occasionally you may also see pane e coperto, which is an extra charge for bread. You are expected to pay both (if you’ve eaten the bread) so you may want to ask up-front whether the bread is free or not. 
If you have paid both of these then leaving an extra tip is unnecessary. But again, for exemplary service, a little extra cash will not offend or be turned down.
