Frequently asked questions
How are the costs calculated?
We aggregate real on-the-ground prices for accommodation, food, transport, and activities from our editorial team's first-hand travel. Live FX rates from ECB convert to your home currency.
Are the numbers per day or total?
Both. Daily costs help you compare destinations. The calculator multiplies by your trip length for the total.
