Tipping customs around the world

Did you know that tipping is considered insulting in some countries, while in others it can even get you arrested?

Newsroom October 26 06:09

Travel site Wego has created a simple infographic that reveals where and when to tip when travelling abroad.

According to the infographic, no tipping should ever take place in Argentina, Japan, Oman, Yemen and France.

In Austria, Brazil, Netherlands, Russia, Chile, South Africa, Ireland and Turkey, tipping is expected after eating in a restaurant, unless service charge is included.

Tipping is left up to the customer in countries including the UK, Greece, Spain, Denmark and Germany.

Knowing the tipping customs in each place you visit is crucial to avoid uncomfortable situations, or even problems with the law, according to Joachim Holte, Chief Marketing Officer for Wego.

“’In Argentina for example, tipping is actually illegal, however, waiters often expect to be tipped by foreigners so if you were to tip, discretion is advised,” Mr. Holte explains.
