Cheap Beers in Europe: Top 4 Cities where Pints are Under £2
If you’re looking for a holiday destination where a boozy break won’t break the bank, you’re in luck. A recent study found four cities that have direct flights from the UK where you can find a pint of beer under £2.
Prague: Cheap Beer and Rich History
Coming in highest on the list was Prague, where beer was £1.93 a pint. The country is the birthplace of Budweiser and Pilsner, which means you can find a number of brewery tours. The standout for me was the 9th-century Prague Castle, which is the largest old castle in the world, covering 750,000 square feet.
Valencia: Affordable Pints and Scenic Beaches
Also home to cheap beers, Valencia pints can be found for as little as £1.72. It is also the birthplace of paella, as well as home to beautiful sandy beaches. Star of the show is the City Of Arts And Sciences — a £760 million spaceship-like mega-complex, which took a decade to build.
Porto: Budget-Friendly Beer and Stunning Beaches
Also one of the cheapest to have pints of beer was Porto, joining Valencia with pints for £1.72. With minimal effort on e-bikes from Miramar beach you can explore the coast at leisure and find perhaps a whole cove to yourself.
Brno: Hidden Gem with Affordable Beers and Christmas Charm
The lesser known destination of the list, Brno in Czechia also has some of the cheapest beers. Just above Porto and Valencia, pints were cheaper than Prague at around £1.71 a pint. If you can wait until after summer, Brno was named the European Capital of Christmas for 2024.
