Britons can enjoy luxury city breaks for less in Europe's cheapest five-star destinations

According to data from TravelSupermarket, Portugal’s capital is the cheapest European city for a five-star break, averaging at £308 per person.

The findings compare the average cost of luxury stays across major European cities, highlighting significant price differences between popular locations.

Lisbon takes the top spot thanks to its combination of high-end hotels, an exciting food scene and a scenic historic setting, all at a comparatively modest price point.

Kraków follows closely behind at £321 per person, while Berlin completes the top three at £357, showing value in Central and Eastern Europe.

Further down the ranking, Prague and Budapest continue the trend of affordable luxury, while Italian favourites Venice and Rome will leave you parting with more cash.

At the opposite end of the table, Paris stands out as by far the most expensive option on the list, costing more than three times as much as Lisbon for a five-star stay.

The figures show British travellers can enjoy premium accommodation without committing to long-haul flights, particularly in European cities with a growing number of five-star hotels.

Head of holidays and deals at TravelSupermarket, Chris Webber, said: "There's a real appetite among British travellers for luxury city breaks, but many assume five-star automatically means five-star prices.

"What this data shows is that destinations like Lisbon, Kraków and Berlin are delivering genuinely premium experiences at remarkably competitive price points. As ever, Eastern Europe in particular offers exceptional value, and with so much history, culture and food on offer in cities like Prague and Budapest.

"At the other end of the scale, Paris remains a bucket-list destination – but at an average of nearly £1,000 per person for a five-star stay, it's worth comparing all your options before you commit."
