How this is calculated
A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of Germany (0.8022688177376459, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.15, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 0.88496895841236 EUR to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.
These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes
The daily figures of $85, $195, and $415 reflect how spending scales as travelers move from bare-bones budget trips to mid-range comfort to luxury stays. Over a full week that becomes $595, $1,365, and $2,905, with the difference mainly coming from lodging quality, how often meals are eaten at restaurants versus cheaper options, and whether paid attractions and taxis are added to the mix.
January, November, and December are the cheapest and quietest months to visit, since demand drops outside the peak summer season. All of the cost figures here, including the per-item estimates, are approximations meant to help with planning rather than fixed prices, and actual spending will vary by individual choices and season.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Nov and Dec.
