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 Sweden (0.8704560805369677, 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 9.82070570950185 SEK 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, the daily estimates of $90, $210, and $450 mainly track differences in lodging and dining choices. The budget tier leans on shared or simple lodging and casual meals, the mid-range tier of $210 a day covers a standard hotel room and restaurant dining, and the luxury tier of $450 a day reflects higher-end accommodations and dining choices, with the same pattern carrying through the weekly totals of $630, $1,470, and $3,150.
The cheapest and quietest period to visit is the off-season of January, November, and December, when demand drops along with temperatures and daylight. All figures given here, including the cost items listed above, are estimates rather than fixed prices, and actual spending will vary with individual choices.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Nov and Dec.
