European countries are among the most sought-after destinations for tourists worldwide. In 2023 alone, Europe saw over 700 million international tourist arrivals.

In this map, we present the costs of accommodation, food, and transport for tourists in 15 European countries, as compiled by HelloSafe in September 2024. Airfare is excluded.

Methodology

This budget includes accommodation (hotel or Airbnb), food (based on local CPI and catering costs), and internal transport (plane, train, bus, public transport, or taxi). It excludes the cost of transportation to the destination. For clarity, we selected some of the most popular destinations as well as a few of the more affordable ones for comparison.

Switzerland is the Most Expensive Destination

With a budget of $2,513 for a week of travel, Switzerland is the most expensive destination, followed by France and Greece.

A significant portion of the cost is due to accommodation. Globally, Switzerland ranks just behind Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, and Saint Kitts and Nevis in accommodation costs, with an average of $293 per night. France is also among the priciest countries for accommodation, averaging $213 per night.

On the other hand, Russia ($592) and Croatia ($894) are the most affordable destinations on our list.
