Most and Least Expensive European Cities | Travel + Leisure
Traveling to Europe? Some cities offer great value. Others, not so much.
—Mark Orwoll, Travel + Leisure
There are very few surprises here. Hey, look at that, London and Venice are expensive. Paris and Geneva, too. So are Scandinavian cities. Who woulda thunk?
About the only things that surprised me were a few cities in the value category. Helsinki? Like I note above, I don’t typically associate Scandinavia and cheap - particularly having traveled a good deal around Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Perhaps Finland is the exception. Munich also struck me and is somewhat inconsistent with my travels through the region.

Jetsetter continues to taunt me with daily emails. Typically they send one tantalizing deal to my inbox which is hard enough to endure. But today they sent me this one listing all the sales they have on offer this week. It’s really too much to bear. I can’t decide if I want to skip off to the French Alps, track the big five in Kenya, or sip ouzo in Santorini. Seriously, I’m torn.
One day I’m going to find the time to get away and scrounge up the dough to take advantage of one of these remarkable discounts.
