City Tax in Europe
It is common to be charged a city/tourist tax in many European countries. Local authorities require this to be paid at the hotel, not in advance of your stay, and we are not permitted to include city taxes in your package. Typically, these are no more than a few euros per night, per person. It's worth noting that:
You may sometimes be required to pay this tax in cash due to local regulations.
Major cities in Italy and the Netherlands often charge a higher rate. In Amsterdam, for example, this equates to 7% of the accommodation cost, plus 3€ per person per night.
Please check tax policies for the destinations you're visiting online if you think you've been charged an unusually high amount.
