Post Office Travel Money issues guide for budget-conscious city tourists
Tourists on a city break looking to save money should head for Copenhagen or Lisbon but avoid New York and Barcelona, according to findings by Post Office Travel Money.
The organisation surveyed the cost of visiting museums, galleries, attractions and popular cultural icons for its annual city breaks barometer and found that tourists spend two thirds less in the Danish and Portuguese capitals than they would in the US or Spain.
It said tourists heading for Lisbon could see its top attractions Jeronimos Monastery, the Belem Tower and Coach Museum for around £21. Istanbul, Warsaw and Bruges also offered bargain cultural sightseeing.
Copenhagen came in the most popuar with tourists looking to do something for nothing with top museums, galleries and its famous Black Diamond library all offering free entry. It’s also free to see the Little Mermaid, visit the Palace Chapel and Parliament in Christiansborg Palace and chill out with the hippies at anarchic Christiania.
