Credit cards

Large shops, petrol stations and hotels usually take major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) are still less credit card-friendly than other Europeans. Don’t assume that you will be able to use your card to pay for things or smaller amounts. We recommend inquiring first. Especially in restaurants and smaller shops one should ask in advance. Cash cards (EC) are more widely accepted. (most shops require a minimum purchase of 5 or 10 Euro when paying with cash card). We recommend keeping a supply of cash on hand.
