Venice Is The Most Exclusive & Expensive Place To Stay In Europe

Venice is the most expensive city in Europe for tourists to spend the night, according to Italy’s Trivago Hotel Price Index. Research released in May 2013 reveals that a room in the lagoon city costs an average of €281 a night. Prices increased at the beginning of May, going up 38% on the previous month. This means that this season, a room in Venice costs more than one in Geneva, London, Stockholm and Paris, which recorded average prices of €278, €204, €200 and €193 a night. According to the Trivago Hotel Price Index, prices in other cities such as Florence (average cost for a room €165 per night) and Siena (average cost for a room of €129 per night) have increased as well this May. However, compared to May 2012, staying at many other Italian cities is actually cheaper. In Turin, the cost of a room is 17% less than a year ago and the average price fell from €133 to €110 per night while in Milan, this May rooms are 14% cheaper than in April 2013 with the average price remaining close to €145 per room per night.
