The employees of the Price of Travel have calculated the average cost of stay in the European cities for an average tourist who does not save, but at the same time does not blow the money.

For these tourists the best European city where they can have a good rest spending a reasonable sum is the capital of Bulgaria — Sofia. According to calculations of the Price of Travel, overnight stay in the city will cost the traveler about $47. The budget includes the following items: accommodation in a 3 star hotel with a good location, two three-kilometer taxi rides, a visit to one of attractions and three meals a day in an inexpensive restaurant, including alcohol drinks (beer or wine).
