As for as a rough guide to spending goes, Vienna is in the average range for Europe: this city is cheaper than London or Paris, but definitely more expensive than many eastern or southern European destinations.

Just to give you an idea, a large beer in a pub in the city’s center will cost you 3 or 4 Euro. The expenses of going to a restaurant can be limited to 10 Euro per head, although this might be heavily exceeded in fancy places. An evening at the Opera can be as cheap as 2 Euro if you don’t mind standing for the whole evening; if you prefer to sit in the first row, this will set you back by up to 178 Euro. While a night in a youth hostel can be arranged for as little as 15 Euro, Vienna has many elegant, top-class hotels where getting a room definitely cost considerably more. A mid-range accommodation costs about 30 to 90 Euro.
