The Lithuanian capital came top in Post Office Travel
Money’sCity Costs Barometer, which covers 26
European cities. The average cost of a weekend break here totalled just £100.04
– less than half the calculated cost of a stay in Paris (£262.39) or Rome
(£276.83).
The most
expensive Eurozone city was Amsterdam at £288.66, while Stockholm was found to
be the continent’s most expensive city overall, with an average cost of
£311.01.
The Barometer based its findings on the price of two
nights’ three-star accommodation, airport transfers, a three-course evening
meal for two with wine, drinks, sightseeing, and transport in the city.
Six of
the 10 cheapest destinations were in Eastern Europe, with Riga offering the
cheapest accommodation, at £36, coming third for overall cost. The most
expensive, in Amsterdam, was £174.
Prague, in seventh place
overall, remains cheapest for dining out. Visitors can expect to pay £23.94 for
a three-course meal for two with wine.
UK cities
surveyed ranked towards the more expensive end of the scale, though they were
among the best value for sightseeing as entry is free to major museums and
galleries.
