About this guide
Spending Bitcoin in everyday life is easier than most people think. Thousands of businesses — from beach bars in El Salvador to bakeries in Switzerland and car repair shops in South Africa — accept Bitcoin directly, usually through the Lightning Network. This guide collects all of them in one place and lets you browse by what you need and where you are.
Start with a category below if you know what you are looking for, or pick a city to see everything that accepts Bitcoin there: where to eat, where to drink a coffee, where to sleep, where to shop and where to find a Bitcoin ATM.
Coinmap currently lists 29,712 places in 153 countries. 79% of them accept Lightning payments and 15,655 were confirmed by a visitor in the last 12 months. The countries with the most are United States (10,717), South Africa (2,864), Brazil (2,411), El Salvador (1,421) and Italy (1,097), and the cities with the most are Rolante (217), Los Angeles (169), Santo Antônio do Pinhal (143), Houston (134) and San Salvador (127).
Places by city
Each city has its own page with the full list, addresses and a map. Cities with at least 10 places are shown.
How to pay
At the counter, tell the staff you want to pay with Bitcoin. They will show a QR code on a phone, tablet or payment terminal. Scan it with your wallet, check the amount and confirm. With Lightning the payment arrives in a couple of seconds and costs a fraction of a cent; an on-chain payment is recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain and can take several minutes to confirm.
Some places also accept other coins such as Ethereum, Litecoin, USDT or Bitcoin Cash. Each place page lists every payment option recorded for that business.
