Skift Take

Cities in Asia and the Middle East are the most affordable destinations followed and the most expensive are those located in resort towns including Cancun and Punta Cana.

Sofia is the most cost-effective city for British travellers, according to a new study into hotel rates, restaurant, bar and taxi prices. The Bulgarian capital was the most affordable of 49 cities that featured in the study, carried out by the website TripAdvisor. A night out in the city, including one night at a four-star hotel, a short taxi ride and cocktails and dinner for two, was found to cost £104 on average. Hanoi and Warsaw were second and third cheapest cities to feature, with a similar night out setting travellers back £115 and £123, respectively. Oslo topped the list of most expensive cities, with one night costing £381, nearly four times as much as in Sofia.
