As the summer tourist season approaches, prices for vacations in Europe are skyrocketing, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for tourists to find budget options.
According to Travel Off Path, the increase in demand from tourists around the world has led to the fact that the cost of flights and accommodation is significantly higher than usual this year. At the same time, some studies indicate that prices have increased by more than 30%.
A recent study by the UK Post Office revealed the European cities with the lowest and highest hotel prices. To compile the ranking, 3-star hotels in the center of each city were evaluated for two weekend nights in June.
At the same time, it was found that prices for 27 of the 35 destinations included in the study increased by more than 50%.
