How this travel cost calculator works
Each city carries a typical mid-season daily price for a double room, meals, entry tickets and public transport. Your choices scale those numbers: a comfort hotel costs roughly 60% more than a 3-star, a packed day of sightseeing adds around 40% to tickets and travel, and rooms are counted two people to a room. Flights stay out of it because they depend entirely on your departure airport and dates.
Treat the figure as a planning budget, not a quote. Peak summer, big events and last-minute bookings can lift accommodation well above these levels — the budget planning guide explains how to leave room for that, and the example itineraries show what real three-day plans cost line by line.
Common questions
How much does a 3-day city break cost?
For two people in a mid-range hotel, three nights in a mainstream European city usually lands between €600 and €1,000 once you count the room, food, sights and local transport. Flights come on top.
Does this include flights?
No. Airfare swings too much by date and airport to estimate usefully, so add your own quote to the total.
How accurate are the numbers?
They are planning estimates from typical mid-season prices. Wayfare's full planner goes further: it picks actual places, prices each one and links you straight to the booking page.
