Travel Guides

Trip costs, broken down honestly: flights, visas, hotels, food and transport for the world’s most-visited destinations, itemised in USD and local currency so a real budget can be built before booking.

Each guide prices the same trip three ways — budget, mid-range and comfort — line by line: the flight, the visa, a bed in a sensible neighbourhood, food, local transport, sights and a contingency margin. Prices are gathered from booking platforms, official fare pages and on-the-ground price reports, converted at a stated exchange rate, and dated, because a trip budget is only useful if you know when it was true. Use the newest guide for your destination as the planning anchor, then adjust the flight line for your own departure city — it is the one figure that moves most between readers.
