Look east for a European city break bargain
Holyhead, Anglesey and Bangor Mail
|May 21, 2025
The Latvian capital Riga has regained its position as Europe's best value city for a short break for the first time in over a decade.
-
According to the annual Post Office Travel Money City Costs Barometer, it costs £253 for a basket of 12 tourist items including accommodation, meals and drinks, city transport and entry to top cultural attractions.
The barometer found that prices have fallen in half of the 38 cities surveyed and Eastern European cities again dominate the best value top 10, taking seven of the leading 10 places.
