Everyday Costs in in Russia

How much does it really cost to live, work, or travel in ? Here's what to expect for daily expenses and expat living.

Currency Guide: Russia (ISO Code: RU)

For a week-long mid-range stay in Russia, travelers should budget approximately 35,000 to 60,000 RUB (around $450 to $750). This estimate considers moderate accommodations, dining, transportation, and leisure activities. Here’s a breakdown of typical daily expenses you might encounter in Russia:

  • 🍽️ Meal at a local restaurant: 800–1,500 RUB
  • ☕ Coffee: 150–300 RUB
  • 🚍 Public transportation fare: 50–200 RUB
  • 📱 Prepaid SIM card: 500 RUB
  • 🏨 Budget hotel or Airbnb: 3,000–5,000 RUB per night

In general, Russia is considered to be average in terms of travel expenses when compared to the United States, where many services and meals are more expensive. For example, dining out can cost up to twice as much in the U.S. than in Russia. When compared to the UK, travelers will find that prices in Russia are generally lower, giving an enticing value for money, especially in terms of dining and local experiences.

Insights for Expats

For expats living in Russia, typical monthly living costs can be around 50,000 to 90,000 RUB (approximately $650 to $1,200), depending on lifestyle and location. This includes rent, utilities, groceries, and transportation. When it comes to banking, most major banks offer convenient services, but it’s wise to compare local bank fees as they can vary significantly. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, yet having cash on hand is ideal for smaller venues and markets.

Regarding money exchange, it’s generally more advantageous to exchange money locally for cash transactions; however, for larger transfers, using online services like Wise or OFX often provides better rates and lower fees than traditional banks. Be mindful of exchange rates and service charges to save money on international transfers. Overall, being well-informed about banking practices will enhance your experience living in Russia, making your financial management smoother and more cost-effective.
