There are still 364 days until the next International Women’s Day, but the Bounce travel portal has compiled a rating of the best cities in Europe for an unforgettable and economical weekend on any day, to escape with the company of girlfriends and experience a short but bright adventure, reports the Daily Star.
What was taken into account when compiling the rating? A few factors are safety, the number of nightclubs and bars, and the average beer price.
The first place in the top list was won by the capital of Portugal. Lisbon has become the best city to spend the weekend not only due to the advantage in the main parameters but also due to the magnificent beaches.
Let’s not forget that the Portuguese capital was voted the best party city on the European continent in 2023.
The average cost of a beer in Portugal’s sunny capital is around £2.15, which means girls won’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy a beer. For every 100 km of the Lisbon area, there are 59 clubs and 35 bars. Lisbon received a safety score of 70.43 out of a possible 100.
The average daily cost of living in a hotel in Lisbon is about 170 pounds, and accommodation in hostels will cost much cheaper – from 34 pounds per night.
Lovers of original options can rent a boat at the pier to sleep: for example, Dormir num Veleiro em Lisboa from £83 per night.
The source adds that the Portuguese capital lives “not only nightlife”. In Lisbon, explore the historic Castelo de Saint Jorge and Belem Tower. The highlight is the picturesque beaches.
The complete top 5 cities look like this:
1. Lisbon, Portugal;
2. Madrid, Spain;
3. Valencia, Spain;
4. Prague, Czech Republic;
5. Munich, Germany
There are some other nominations in the rating. For example, the “safest destination” is Dubrovnik in Croatia. The low-crime city scored 81.87 out of 100.
The cheapest beer in Portuguese Portimão, the average cost of a mug of beer is just £1.29.
Where is affordable housing? In Riga. The average daily cost of living in a hotel in the capital of Latvia will cost only 41 pounds.
