Belfast and Dublin Ranked Among Cheapest Weekend City Break Destinations

Belfast and Dublin have been ranked among the most affordable weekend city break cities in a new survey.

The study – by global luggage storage provider Stasher – measured the cities using data from Hotels.com, Kayak.co.uk and Numbeo.com to find out how much it would cost to make all the expenses needed for two people for a short trip in every European city with an airport – from flights and hotel rooms to meals and local transportation.

Belfast ranked 12th in the list, with Dublin in 37th place. While quite low down on the list, Dublin was still ranked cheaper than Milan, Copenhagen, Rome, Venice, Edinburgh and Reykjavik.

The most affordable city break destinations were Krakow, Bucharest, Warsaw, Riga, Prague, Budapest, Istanbul, Stockholm, Porto and Valencia.

Stasher co-founder Anthony Collias, said: “The data provides helpful insights into the European touristic landscape and can be easily used to plan your next trip abroad.”

“With each of these cities providing plenty of opportunities for entertainment, as well as cultural enrichment, any destination can be the best fit based on your personal budget.”
