  • Cost of Living Index

     


    Tourist’s Daily Cost of Living
    shows you what you minimally might want to budget per day if you sought average accommodations and food.  While it often varies according to which part of the city you are in, we try to give you an “overall feel” for what you might expect to pay as a tourist.  This value often contrasts dramatically with the Cost of Living for local residents.

    This number, shown in US dollars, indicates the estimated total of standard daily expenses for one person:

    • Brunch -Three-Star Restaurant
    • Dinner - Three-Star Restaurant
    • Three-Star Hotel One Room Per Night

    Rate sometimes changes throughout the year depending on high or low tourist seasons. We rate on HIGH season so you can feel comfortable in using this general gauge.
