In the average cost a day, I included the following things:
- Accomodation in a decent (budget) hotel, located in the city center.
- Cost for transport to/from the airport.
- Cost for local transport.
- All food, including going out for food at least once a day.
- Drinks both from supermarkets as in bars.
- Entrance fees for musea, leisure and so on.
Souvenirs, shopping sprees, clubbing all night and overpriced food/transport/activities are not included in this budget ;)

One sidenote: my experience with a cheap city is that it makes you consume more. In Prague for example, it's no problem for me to go out for 'dinner' when I'm hungry at 16:00 and again at 22:00, while in the more expensive cities I'll rather go for an easy meal. The difference between cities is more than just the €, it's also the lifestyle you can afford with it.
Sidenote two: There are over five years between some of the visited cities, so not all numbers are 100% accurate anymore, but the outlines are still valid. The cheapest parts of Europe are in the east, Lisbon and Dubai are quite cheap too.
