Supplementary notes
The daily costs were calculated by the source based on the following aspects:
"-One night in the cheapest bunk at the least expensive hostel with a good location and good reviews.
-Two public transportation rides per day.
-One paid/famous attraction per day.
-Three “budget” meals per day.
-Three cheap, local beers each day as an “entertainment fund.” Non-drinkers might have dessert and coffee or attend a local music performance instead, so this is a general benchmark that should be proportional for each city."
