From the cheapest to the most expensive
- The most expensive city to explore is New York (USA). Tourists will have to spend there almost $2,500 in 3 days for a couple.

TripAdvisor specialists took into account how much money a pair of tourists will have to spend on accommodation (4-star hotel room), food, visiting 3 places of interest, and taxi during the 3-day trip. Flights are not included.
Good news for love seekers, Moscow has become much cheaper to travel to.
Apart from that, one more rating of the most expensive cities has been released just recently.
The American consulting company Mercer published the list of the most unaffordable cities for expatriates. And again, Moscow dropped out from the list of expensive destinations. The city gets cheaper with every year, as well as the Russian currency. This year it has moved down 17 ranks and now holds the 67th place, Lenta.ru reports.
Moscow came 9th in the top 10 expensive spots in 2014, 2nd in 2013 and 4th in 2010-2012. Before 2010, it was ranked 1st for several years.
However, the good news is that the Russian capital is now more affordable than ever for foreign tourists, who are always welcome there!
