cheap European city break?

[Bimgy85]

Simple as that really.

Was thinking Amsterdam but seems too expensive in terms of living , food and drink.

Any recommendations for a 4 night stay in a European city? With lots of stuff to see and do, cheaper standard of living?

Krakow, Poland

Kraków! I was there last week and really impressed at all the things to do and see and the prices were amazing. Spent £330 for myself and my 11 year old daughter and we didn’t skimp, could have saved on that if we had wanted to.

Budapest was good value when I went in May. We ended up taking taxis everywhere it was so cheap.

Depends on your budget. We did Rome 3 nights £ 250.- each for flight and B&B in city centre mid October. We did spend a lot on food ... by choice. And pre booked main sites from home over a 4 month period to spread costs, 3-4 hour guided tour (private!) was around £ 120.- But having said that, there are tons of cheaper things to do and see...

Cologne. Good food, good drink and easy to get to via Eurostar.

Zagreb or Lviv. Both seriously under appreciated.

We went to Gdańsk in Poland earlier this year. It was great!

Berlin

Prague.

Budapest!

Lille - short hop on the Eurostar, lovely town to wander around for a few days

When are you thinking of going?

There are lots of cheap tickets £29 each way on Eurostar at the mo. Quick trip to Paris.

Amsterdam was about £80 return. I know as I looked at it yesterday :-)

Porto

user when was that for and where from?

Krakow 😍

I've just booked for the two of us to got to Budapest. For flights and 4 nights in a 4 Star hotel, it was just under £600.

I’ve just booked a cheap break in Brussels - hotels very cheap, travel not too bad. I’m hoping actually being there won’t be too pricey either!

Lisbon is dirt cheap and ace.

I was going to suggest Lisbon too but not before about October.

Gdańsk! We just booked flights £23 return each and the hotels are cheap too! Plus it's astounding how cheap it is once you get there and lots to do too! :-) not far from a little spa town ( I forget the name ) and we have done a day there before :)

Just back from Budapest. Shocked at how cheap it is.
Yes there are the tourist traps but in general so much cheaper.

We went to Sofia in May. Was very pleasantly surprised by how lovely the city was as well as how cheap it was. I highly recommend the free walking tours. We did one of the city and another of the local mountain. Just gave a tip at the end which was fantastic value.

Really want to go Amsterdam but can't stomach paying €100 a night for a hotel with a shared bathroom , then on top of the expensive food/beer

Is Amsterdam expensive to go out and drink and eat? Also, if I stayed in Amstel is that too far or is there 24/7 transport services?

Was thinking Budapest or Kraków too.
Thinking of going mid October. Budget would be €300 for hotel and flights are okay as I've checked them
