Budget-conscious Britons travelling abroad to visit Christmas markets will get their bests deals in eastern Europe, research from the Post Office suggests.
Latvia’s capital city, Riga, topped the list of bargain destinations for a European shopping trip for the fourth time running in Post Office Travel Money’s Christmas markets barometer. Zagreb in Croatia was the runner-up, while Krakow in Poland completed the top three.
The Post Office compared costs in 12 European cities, with Vienna in Austria being found to be the priciest city in the survey. Lille in France was identified as the best value among cities surveyed in western Europe.
