Here Are The European Cities With The Cheapest & Most Expensive Pints

Time to get planning for summer.

If you’re already discussing your potential summer holidays in the group chat, you might be stuck on choosing between a few different cities.

If you need some convincing on where to book your flights this summer, we’ve found the perfect way to decide if a destination is worth visiting or not— based on how expensive the drinks are.

Of course, drinking isn’t the only factor when it comes to booking a holiday but it’s a good indicator of how expensive a city might be as a whole. A city with cheap drinks means your money will probably go further whereas more expensive cities mean you might need to budget a bit more which isn’t always ideal for students.

Travel company OMIO has done the research and concluded what cities are the most budget-friendly for drinking vs the ones where you’ll have to pay up a bit more.

So, if you are planning on getting a few pints in on your summer holiday this year here are the European cities with the cheapest and most expensive pints.
