Analysis of Paid Pee Culture in Europe

July 12, 2024

In Europe, paying to use public toilets is the norm, but advocates of free toilets are bringing convenience to tourists and locals alike.

“Europe has more public restrooms than we do,” said Kate Storm, a New York-based travel blogger who covers bathroom culture on her website Our Escape Clause. “But if they’re not privately owned, you generally have to pay to use them.”

Pay toilets are usually maintained by an attendant or cleaned by themselves. The fee is usually small change to cover maintenance, supplies and labour costs: 50 cents or 1 euro in EU countries, 1 or 2 Swiss francs or 20 pence to 1 pound in the UK. Restrooms with additional facilities such as changing rooms or showers may cost slightly more.
