Shops

Eating and Drinking

The restaurants and inns serve tasty and carefully prepared cuisine. In the larger restaurants, lunch is served between 12 noon and 2 pm, sometimes earlier, in the little country inns. Dinner is served from 6 pm. Generally service (10–15%) is included in the bill. Nevertheless, a little extra tip is always welcomed.

Travelling by Car

The road network is very dense and consists of motorways, fast lanes, and departmental and communal roads. The motorways and fast lanes are toll roads. The road tax disc can be purchased from the border and petrol stations. The cost is EUR 72,60 per year for private vehicles, EUR 29,00 for motorcycles. A 2-months pass for cars costs EUR 21,80, for motorbikes EUR 10,90. A 10-days pass for car costs EUR 7,60, for motorbikes EUR 4,30. Some tunnels and passes also have a toll.
