The short answer
Tipping is customary but modest; you tell the server the total as you pay. Don't leave it on the table — say the total (including tip) when you pay.

Good to know
Don't leave it on the table — say the total (including tip) when you pay. Customs shift over time and by venue, and tourist areas often expect more than locals give. When in doubt, a small tip in the local currency and cash is rarely wrong.
