What an evening really costs
Culture Budget
Build an evening or a weekend from museums, tickets, drinks, dinner and transport, in any of the sixteen cities, and see the total.
Ticket prices are only part of a culture trip. The budget tool adds the drinks, the dinner before the curtain and the transport home, and then shows you the same basket in every other city in the guide.
The differences are larger than most people expect: the identical evening costs about three times as much in New York as in Mexico City.
Questions
Are these real prices?
They are typical 2026 prices for a mid-range choice in each category, in euros. A specific venue can cost half or double that.
Does it include the flight or the hotel?
No. This is the cost of the culture and the evening around it, not the trip.
