When we compare the travel costs of actual travelers between Skopje and Delhi, we can see that Skopje is more expensive. And not only is Delhi much less expensive, but it is actually a significantly cheaper destination. Since Skopje is in Europe and Delhi is in Asia, this is one of the main reasons why the costs are so different, as different regions of the world tend to have overall different travel costs. So, traveling to Delhi would let you spend less money overall. Or, you could decide to spend more money in Delhi and be able to afford a more luxurious travel style by staying in nicer hotels, eating at more expensive restaurants, taking tours, and experiencing more activities. The same level of travel in Skopje would naturally cost you much more money, so you would probably want to keep your budget a little tighter in Skopje than you might in Delhi.
