When you're working out your travel budget, you need to be aware of more than just the exchange rate when figuring out what you're going to spend at your destination. Even after you account for the currency differences, some cities can be far more expensive than others. You might not notice when booking a hotel, since they are obviously catering to tourists.
But you are more likely to notice when you are eating at restaurants or doing any shopping. Transport within the city (buses, taxis) may also be much more than you're used to.
Cities in Japan and several Scandinavian countries are usually on the list of "most expensive cities to visit", though this type of thing changes all the time due to global economics. Lists are issued each year, so check online for the latest list of costly destinations.
