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 Austria (0.8196411784898028, 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
At the budget level of $85 a day, most of the spending goes toward basic lodging, simple meals, and public transit rather than extras. The mid-range figure of $200 a day allows for more comfortable accommodation and restaurant meals, while the luxury tier of $425 a day reflects higher-end lodging, dining, and activities. Over a full week these scale to $595, $1,400, and $2,975 for the same three tiers.
The lowest costs of the year line up with the off-season months of January, November, and December, when demand for lodging and travel typically eases. Outside of these months, especially during the June-to-September peak, travelers should expect prices closer to the upper end of each tier. All figures here are estimates meant to guide planning rather than fixed prices.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Nov and Dec.
