About the guides
197 countries across seven regions.
How to use the guide
Choose a country and start with the quick answer. Use the service cheat sheet to check amounts, timing and important exceptions.
Where we cover
The directory includes 193 UN member states, Palestine, Vatican City, Kosovo and Taiwan. Dependent territories and special administrative regions are not separate guides. Regions help you browse destinations and do not imply a position on sovereignty.
Using the amounts
Customs vary by business and service. Check whether gratuity or a service charge is already included before adding a tip. Detail varies by destination; an omitted service does not mean no tip is expected.
