Have you ever arrived in a country, gone out to eat on that first night, and suddenly realized when the bill arrives, that you have no idea if you should tip or not?

That’s why we’ve put together this list, which we believe is one of the most comprehensive ones out there regarding tipping customs around the world.

Bookmark it and look it up whenever you need it – and you’ll always know what is expected so you can avoid any awkward situation.

The countries are listed below in alphabetical order and you can just use the search function shortcut on your keyboard or phone if you don’t want to scroll through the whole list.

A few general tips however:

  • We recommend leaving a tip as cash, so that a server will actually receive the money – and it doesn’t go into the pockets of restaurant owners.

  • Second, even if tipping is not the custom, it’s often nice to leave something anyway when you’ve received excellent service – it will almost always be appreciated although do check with the list to make sure you wont offend.

  • Lastly, in particularly poor countries, tourists leaving large tips can have a huge impact – be wise with how you tip.
