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 1.1, 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
Across the three cost tiers, a budget day near $80 covers basic lodging, public transit, and simple meals, while a mid-range day around $185 allows for better accommodation, sit-down meals, and occasional paid attractions. The luxury tier, about $395 per day, extends to premium lodging, multiple restaurant meals, and unrestricted activity spending, and these figures scale to $560, $1,295, and $2,765 respectively over a full week.
The cheapest and quietest months are January, November, and December, when lower demand can make lodging and travel costs easier to manage. All figures listed here, including the individual cost items above, are estimates meant to guide planning rather than fixed prices.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Nov and Dec.
