Average Costs
Accommodation will be your biggest single expense, with hostel beds going for around oS200/?14.54 (GBP10/US$15) the cheapest reasonable double rooms in a pension going for about oS500-750/?36.34-54.50 (GBP25-38/US$38-57). A double in a more comfortable pension or hotel is more likely to be between oS750-1000/?54.50-72.67 (GBP38-50/US$57-75). After you've paid for your room, count on a minimum of GBP20/US$30 a day, to buy your breakfast, a takeaway lunch, a budget dinner and a beer or coffee, but not much else. Eating sit-down meals twice a day, visiting museums and drinking more beer and coffee (especially coffee) will mean allowing something in the range of GBP40/$60 a day; if you want to go to the opera or a nightclub, then you could easily double that figure. Tipping is expected in the more upmarket hotels, taxis and in most cafes, bars and restaurants, usually up to the nearest oS5/?0.36 or oS10/?0.73 depending on how much you've spent and how good the service. In more expensive restaurants, you'll find the bill arrives with a fifteen percent service charge already tacked onto the total.
