3 Days in Vancouver Budget Breakdown

I am finally going to visit BC!

This is very exciting for me and I am here to tell you how much this trip cost me, because sharing is caring.

Below is a photo of the budget breakdown I keep on my Excel spreadsheet:

My best friend and I booked this flight on January 18th and got it for an AMAZING price. I was thrilled because it was with a known airline (WestJet)……. I will be foraying into some of these new budget airlines a little later in the year. Stay tuned.

I think for $253.00 roundtrip, direct, with carry-on included? Great price. I remember when it would be $600+ to fly to Vancouver. This is a steal. So cost of flight = $253.00

The cost of hotels in Vancouver is kind of like Toronto, it is expensive. Fine.

We found a great AirBnB in a super accessible location.

Given how much places to stay (hotel or AirBnB) are in the central Vancouver area, I think we got a decent deal.

For two nights it was $350.00, so $175.00 per person.

I like it because it is two-bedrooms, so we have lots of space and the place has wonderful reviews. Location. Yeah, I am looking forward to this stay.

Here is the link to it, when I return I will give it a full review.

We didn’t book any excursions for this trip because 1) what if we end up hungover? and 2) I had some back issues leading up to the trip, so we didn’t know if I’d be even able to do such physical activities.

For the spending money I chose $300.00. I have no idea if this will be enough or not.

Toronto can be expensive to go out and be a foodie in, so I assume Vancouver will be exactly the same. We both love eating and both love some drinks. Hopefully $300.00 will be enough. Who knows?

The total budget for this trip is $728.00 Canadian for me.

Being that just the flight to Vancouver would almost be this much??? I think I did pretty damn well.

I know I am soooooooooooooooooo excited to see more of Canada for a great price.

See you when I get back.
