What is the tourist tax? Am I going to be charged with it?

The tourist tax is a tax on stays in tourist establishments. It will only be charged in some cases and must be paid directly at the hotel. It will vary depending on the destination, the location of the hotel and its category.

These are some of the destinations where you will be charged a tourist tax: Amsterdam and Berlin (5% of the room’s rate), Brussels (will vary depending on the category of the hotel), Hungary (€1.50), Lisbon (€1), Paris (ranging from €0.22 to €4.40, depending on the category of the hotel), Prague (€0.50), Rome and Milan (ranging from €2 to €7, depending on the category of the hotel), Vienna (3.20% of the room’s rate), Barcelona (ranging from €0.45 to €2, depending on the category of the hotel).
