The map of the most expensive cities
Every ranked city as a point in its price band. Click a band to show or hide it, click a city for its rank and its weekly cost.
Why are some cities missing? A city is ranked only when at least five 3-star hotels within 5 km of its centre were offered in three of the four weeks surveyed, and when comparable meal and transport prices exist for its country. Orlando, Nassau, Malé and Monaco are not on the map for that reason. What this study does not show ↓

Reader service: a week in Chicago or New York costs more than $3,000 before anything goes wrong, and a medical bill abroad can cost far more than the trip. Before you leave for the United States, France or Italy, compare medical limits with our travel insurance comparison and check what repatriation cover pays for.
Why these cities cost the most
Methodology
Built by HelloSafe's travel insurance team from our own survey of hotel prices, independently of our comparison, so the ranking can be reproduced city by city. 347 cities were studied: every capital we could price and the main cities and resorts travellers visit.
Formula Cost of a week = 7 × 3-star hotel night + 7 × (2 inexpensive meals + ½ mid-range meal for two + 4 one-way local transport tickets)
- Flights are not included: their price depends on where you leave from.
- A city is ranked only with at least five 3-star hotels within 5 km of its centre in three of the four weeks surveyed. 45 of the 347 cities studied are left out for that reason, among them Orlando, Nassau and Malé.
- Monaco, Andorra, the French Caribbean and French Polynesia have no comparable national meal prices and are not ranked.
- Hotel prices are those offered online on 27 October 2026 for stays in 2027; they move with demand and exchange rates.
- Meal and transport prices are national figures: they do not separate an expensive capital from a cheaper city of the same country.
