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 Italy (0.6896004590882343, 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
Across the three tiers, budget travelers in Rome spend about $70 a day, which covers basic lodging, simple meals, and local transport, while mid-range travelers spending $165 a day add sit-down restaurant meals and paid attractions. Luxury travelers at $355 a day access upgraded hotels and dining. Over a full week these tiers total $490, $1,155, and $2,485, respectively.
The cheapest and quietest months to visit are January, March, and November, when demand eases and travelers can often keep spending closer to the lower end of these ranges. All figures listed here, including the individual item prices above, are estimates rather than fixed prices, and actual costs will vary by choice of lodging and time of year.
