How do you pay to use the restroom in Italy?

How do you pay to use the restroom in Italy? Paid public toilets usually require cash: coins for turnstile-operated ones or coins or notes for those with an assistant. I haven't come across toilets accepting cards. The cost of paid toilets in Italy is usually between 50 cents and 1 euro.

Do Italian trains have toilets?

There is typically one bathroom per train car on Italian trains.

Bathrooms are easily accessible on all trains and are frequently marked with the letters WC (Water Closet). Usually found at the front or back of each train car, they include a sink, toilet and locking door. All High-Speed trains are fully heated and air-conditioned.

Should I bring toilet paper to Europe?

While Europeans do use toilet paper, WCs may not always be well stocked. If you're averse to the occasional drip-dry, carry pocket-size tissue packs (easy to buy in Europe) for WCs sans TP. Some countries, such as Greece and Turkey, have very frail plumbing.

Can I wear a fanny pack in Italy?

Many Italians wear fanny packs/ satchels everyday. You can easily store your phone, wallet, passport, and other small items while traveling around. I recommend men to purchase a fanny pack or satchel as it provides more security than simply keeping your wallet in your pocket.

What is the little toilet for in Italy?

A bidet is a small basin located near the toilet that you use to wash your private parts after using the toilet. So, instead of just wiping with toilet paper, you use soap and water to clean the area. You can also use a bidet to 'freshen up' and wash 'down there' as you feel necessary.

Do you tip in Italy?

If you ask locals “Do you tip in Italy?”, they'll explain that while they sometimes leave a small tip, it's generally not necessary.
