- Here's our guide to three fantastic European holiday destinations that won't break the bank. If you're looking for Mediterranean sun and sand, then the Albanian Coast might be your best bet. Here you can expect fresh seafood, isolated ruins, and beautiful towns from the Ottoman Empire. And with all this on offer, the average hotel cost for one week in Albania is a very affordable 275 pounds.
If a city break is your thing, then you should consider heading to the twin enclaves of Buda and Pest to explore Hungary's capital. Here you can spend time lounging in the city's local spas. And when the sun sets, make sure to head to the popular local bars to test out the local white wine drunk long as a spritzer. The average cost of a hotel here for the weekend is just over 100 pounds.
If you're craving authentic Italian food and breathtaking views, then consider heading to Cinque Terre in Italy. This is a great opportunity to get your hiking boots on and explore. The average hotel costs for a weekend here is a very reasonable 125 pounds.
