The estimated cost of living per day in Geneva (accommodation in a youth hostel, meals, transportation in Geneva) would be around CHF 100-120.-. It is easy to buy a snack lunch for around CHF 15.- and an evening meal for CHF 30.- Given that the city is quite small, most facilities and place of interest are within walking distance. The cheapest way to travel around Geneva is on public transport. Please foresee extra funds if you plan on participating in any leisure activities (travel, excursions, cultural events, etc.). It should be stressed, however, that these figures are all approximate and how much you actually spend will depend a lot on your personal life-style.
