Trip costs by destination
Daily and total costs on the ground, before flights. Open a destination to add your departure city, which is where most of the variation actually lives.
How to read these figures
The totals below cover accommodation, food, local transport and activities for one person over a typical trip length, at three travel styles. They deliberately exclude international airfare and visa fees, because both depend on where you start and what passport you hold — adding them to a single headline figure is what makes most published travel costs useless.
Accommodation is priced per room rather than per head, so a couple sharing pays once for the room. Food, local transport and activities scale per person. Every figure carries the date it was last checked and the source it came from; open any destination to see the itemised breakdown and its provenance.
Shown in US dollars here so the destinations are directly comparable. Individual pages price in the currency of the departure city you choose.
