How Much Does a Week in Italy REALLY Cost?

This is how much a week in Italy cost us 😱👇🏼

Here's an exact cost breakdown of how much we spent on a 6-day trip to Italy, including flights, hotels, activities, attractions, transport, food and more! I'm a massive nerd and tracked everything we spent money on 😜

This was a mid-range to splurge trip 😂 as we were travelling for my best friend's birthday! You could absolutely spend less than this by staying at cheaper hotels (or in hostels) and not spending as much on food. We definitely didn't limit our food spending 🤣🤣 and I'm happy to announce we spent a total of €71.50 on gelato between the two of us 😂🍧

FLIGHTS ✈️ cost us €107.09 each, which was really good! Also did you see those plane views?! 🤩 we actually partly decided our destination for this trip based on flight costs, and flying to Milan was one of the cheapest options!

HOTELS 🏨 cost us €469.37 each, which for five nights (two nights in Genoa, two nights in Rapallo and one night in Milan) isn't too bad. We did stay at mid-range accommodation, and our Milan stay was the most expensive (which makes sense - it's not the cheapest city 😁)

TRANSPORT 🚊 cost €191.05 each, which also included our taxi to Málaga airport as our flight was at 6am 😂 We also took some first-class trains, which were surprisingly affordable 😱

ATTRACTIONS 🎟️ cost €56 each, including things like museum tickets, cathedral entry fees etc!

ACTIVITIES 🚤 were a total of €207.46 each, including our boat trip of the Italian Riviera, city tours etc 🛺

FOOD 🥘 cost us €283.81 each, or around €48 each per day 😳 we definitely splurged on food, and also had a lot of coffee and gelato breaks 🫣 however, we barely spent any money on alcohol, which did keep this cost down!

SOUVENIRS 🎁 cost us €32.25 each, which was mainly postcards, pasta and pesto 😂

MISC 🧺 €18.50

In total, we spent €227.59 per person per day - which is quite a lot! Italy was definitely not as affordable as I'd expected, and we spent more than I would have anticipated.

💰 TOTAL trip cost (2 people, 6 days): €2,731.07

Would you have expected this to be less? Or more? 😁
