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 0.9, 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, the daily gap between $55 and $280 mostly reflects lodging quality and dining choices rather than the cost of getting around, since local transport and museum tickets stay fairly fixed. A mid-range day near $130 typically allows for one restaurant meal, a paid attraction, and a comfortable room, while the $280 luxury tier leaves room for better accommodation and more flexible dining.
January, February, and December are the off-season months and tend to offer the best value, since the city is quieter and lodging demand is lower than in the June-to-September peak. All the dollar figures here, including the daily and weekly tiers, are estimates rather than fixed prices, and actual costs will vary by traveler and season.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Feb and Dec.
