What $100 Will Buy You Around the World

When you think about things that cost $100, it’s easy to forget that a seemingly small amount in one country can be worth quite a bit in another. And although most of us remember to check the exchange rate from one nation to another, we still often forget to consider that the cost of goods — like food, souvenirs and even gasoline — can vary dramatically, depending on where we are in the world.

So, don’t board your next flight without checking to see how far your money will stretch in certain countries. Click through to see what you can buy for $100 in these 10 world-class destinations.

1. Paris
   $100 USD equals: 92 Euros
   What you can buy: A meal at a moderately priced restaurant, multiple espresso drinks, tickets to the Louvre and more
   “Most of the things I like to do in Paris are free,” said my old college roommate, who moved to France about 20 years ago. Knowing where to go and what to do means your money can go surprisingly far in what’s usually considered to be a fairly pricey major city.

“A meal at a good but moderately priced restaurant in an area that’s central but away from the biggest tourist attractions” can cost between 20 and 40 euros, she said. Hanging out at a café can cost next to nothing. “An espresso is 1 euro if you drink it standing at a bar or about 2 euros if you sit at a table,” she said. Restaurant proprietors will “let you linger, even if [a couple of euros] is all you have,” she added.

An adult entry to the Musée du Louvre costs just 15 euros, and the modern art museum, Centre Pompidou, will set you back 14 euros. If you go, “Be sure to check out the views from the top floor,” she said. You can have a few drinks or cocktails for between 10 and 15 euros each while you check out the city’s breathtaking panorama.

If you’re still hungry, a cheese shop will sell you a slice of heaven for about 10 euros, and a baguette can be bought for less than a euro. Then, she suggested, it’s free to eat your snack on the bank of the Canal Saint-Martin or at the Parc des Buttes Chaumont.
