Cash dominant. Many establishments cash-only especially in traditional neighborhoods. Carry €50-100. More card-friendly than Munich but still cash-heavy.
Uses Euro - no exchange needed from Eurozone. Non-EU: Sparkasse Leipzig ATMs have best rates and no fees for Eurozone cards. Avoid Hauptbahnhof (main station) Reisebank - 4-5% markup. Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank ATMs also reliable. Cash culture strong here - withdraw enough for several days.
10% in restaurants. Round up when paying. Tell waiter total including tip. Cash preferred.
