Tipping is customary in Kitzbuhel; for excellent service in fine-dining restaurants, a tip of 10% is standard.
Getting Around
Kitzbuhel is a compact town where the center is easily explored on foot. For reaching the surrounding mountains and neighboring villages like Jochberg or Aurach, private chauffeurs or hotel shuttle services are the most convenient options. The town also offers a highly efficient and clean public bus system (Postbus) and local trains that connect you to Salzburg and Innsbruck for day trips.
