Bucharest and seven other cities in Eastern Europe dominate the 2026 ranking of the best new city-break destinations created based on value for money by the British Post Office and published in its traditional City Costs Barometer.
To compile the ranking, the Barometer compared the total cost of usual tourist expenses and two nights of accommodation at a three-star hotel for two people. Five emerging cities were highlighted as offering the best value for money among the 50 destinations studied, while eight of the top ten places were dominated by Eastern Europe.
