The matter is that Paphos is considered to be the most advantageous city in Europe from the purchasing point of view. Besides it’s been assigned the cultural capital of 2017, which is attractive as well.
The investigation took into account all the costs needed for staying in a city for 2 nights, costs for tours between the centre and the airport, supper for two persons and entry fee for the most popular attractions. The calculation brought to the following result: Paphos emerged to be the cheapest city, and all the costs here resulted in one hundred and thirty-eight Euros. It allowed the Cyprian city to outrun the other prominent places of interest in Europe, that is, Vilnius, Riga and Warsaw.
The capital of Portugal – Lisbon – is the leader among inexpensive Western Europe capitals. All the above costs here amount to one hundred and sixty-two Euros. Lisbon is followed by such exotic cities as Athens and Palma, Majorca.
Such surveying of costs first began 8 years ago, as reported by Mr. Brown, the representative of the company named Post Office Travel Money. He said that cheap prices generally connoted with Eastern Europe capitals, such as, for instance, Budapest in Hungary or Prague in Czech Republic.
Mr. Brown is sure that the popularity of city breaks is growing fast nowadays. And taking into account the unsteadiness of British currency, such researches are a quite important issue for those, who want to have rest and at the same time save their family finances.
The top ten of cities in Europe which attract travellers with low coosts looks like this:
1. Paphos in Cyprus
2. Vilnius in Lithuania
3. Riga in Latvia
4. Warsaw in Poland
5. Budapest in Hungary
6. Krakow in Poland
7. Lisbon in Portugal
8. Prague in Czech Republic
9. Athens in Greece
10. Palma, Majorca
