Prices checked, one by one
Every transport, museum and monument price was checked on the official page of whoever charges it, and each guide gives the date this was done and lists its sources at the end. Café and restaurant averages come from Numbeo, which collects prices submitted by people who live in and travel to each city. When a price couldn’t be confirmed, it isn’t shown: the guide tells you how to find it.
