As well as being renowned for its affordable prices, Athens is also known for its fascinating architecture and welcoming atmosphere. Its warm and sunny climate naturally adds to the city’s allure as a place to visit for a cheapcity break.
Budapest
Hungary’s capital has long been popular with the bohemian and budget-minded traveller looking to explore somewhere exotic and interesting.
