Budapest is beating Vienna in Advent holiday break costs
Change language:
Budapest has a reputation as one of the cheapest holiday destinations in Europe. The British Post Office, which ranked Budapest as the third cheapest city for a weekend break in a previous survey, has now compiled a Christmas Market barometer to find out which European city with a Christmas market is worth a visit in this holiday season, napi.hu reports.
Eleven European cities were ranked according to the total costs of an Advent holiday break, as well as individual items such as accommodation for 2 nights, travel costs, a two-course meal with a bottle of wine, and of course food and drinks at the Christmas market. Moreover, since many people do their Christmas shopping while travelling, the Post Office also surveyed the costs of some typical Christmas gifts.

Considering the overall costs of a holiday, Budapest came 6th with 633 pounds (742 euros). The result is mostly due to the high accommodation costs that rival those of Vienna’s, placing the Hungarian capital below Tallinn, Riga, Prague, Munich, and Lille.
