Plan on €80–€140 per adult per day for food, local transport and attractions. Accommodation and intercity flights are extra.
A 7-day trip comes to about €560–€980 per person for food, transport and sightseeing, or roughly €1,120–€1,960 for two travellers sharing costs like taxis and museum passes differently.
