What are the cheapest and most expensive cities in Europe? - Tirana, the third cheapest for vacations. Oslo, the most expensive
A new study has revealed which European cities offer the best value for travellers and which ones could make visitors pay a lot more. In the latest City Cost Barometer from UK Post Travel, it has been revealed which European cities offer the best and worst value for travellers once they arrive at their destination.
In its largest comparison yet, the annual report analyzed the cost of 12 everyday travel items for two people in 50 cities. Giving travelers a general idea of how much a city break can actually cost, the items include a coffee, a beer, a soft drink, a glass of wine and a three-course dinner for two with house wine.
Transport costs, such as a round-trip airport bus or train transfer, and a 48-hour travel card were included. Also included was the price of a sightseeing bus tour, a major heritage tourist attraction, a major museum, and a major art gallery. Finally, the report added the cost of two nights’ accommodation in a three-star hotel for two people.
Eastern Europe once again dominates the best value table, with eight of the top 10 places for some of the cheapest European city breaks. For the first time, Sarajevo is named the cheapest city to holiday in Europe for 2026, with a cost of €287 for the 12 items in the barometer. The capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina joins Bucharest, Tirana, Belgrade and Trenčín in Slovakia in the top five.
On the other hand, Oslo is the most expensive European city for a holiday in 2026, with a cost of 850 euros for the 12 items of the barometer. The Norwegian capital joins Copenhagen, Edinburgh, Geneva and Barcelona in the top five most expensive cities.
