Also, how much would you say is a customary tip for a waiter in a restaurant or for a cabby?

Thank you and Happy Travels!

Service is included in the prices (by law, i think), so there's no need to tip. However, rounding up to the nearest Euro or leaving an extra one- or two-Euro coin if you were happy with the service is not unheard of, from what I gather. It feels weird at first, but you get used to it quickly.

Cabbies: I'd say round it off, possibly with an extra Euro if he was particularly helpful.

edit for typo
