REDDITCH people with an urge to travel can now do so – on a budget.
New research has revealed what a budget of £80 can get you – so you don’t have to break the bank for that winter getaway.
The new study, conducted by discount voucher website, MyVoucherCodes, looked into tourist activities across the most popular cities for Brits to see just how far £80 can get you. Activities included visits to cultural sites, tasting local delicacies and of course, having a cheap pint of beer.
When comparing like for like, Budapest is home to the cheapest pint of beer, with the average costing only £1.46.
Meanwhile, Reykjavik is the priciest place for a pint where the average costs £6.11, allowing only 13 pints for the same budget. This is closely followed by Paris where you can buy 14 pints of the cold stuff.
The study found Moscow to be the most expensive city for travel, with a daily transport pass costing a whopping £16.91, 23 per cent of the total budget. However, a similar pass in Buenos Aires costs a minimal £1.08.
The European city of Budapest came out on top for overall affordability, with tourists being able to visit 13 different attractions for just under £80. In contrast, Tokyo, Cape Town and Reykjavik offered the least activities with seven a piece.
The historical city of Rome is the most cost-friendly city for anyone wanting to enjoy national natural landmarks, with a visit to The Colosseum, The Pantheon and The Vatican coming in at a combined cost of only £24.97. Similarly, in Paris, entry to the Eiffel Tower is £15.16, while a trip to one of the most famous museums in the world, The Louvre, will only set you back £13.37.
