Beer prices in Europe: where you can enjoy a pint of the drink for a pound, and in which countries you'll have to pay more than 8 pounds
While few travelers plan their itineraries solely based on beer prices, it's interesting to know in which European countries you can enjoy a pint for just a pound.
This can provide insights into the average prices for a vacation in a particular destination because in cities where a pint of beer costs 8 pounds, it can be challenging to stay on a budget for meals and relaxation. The average price for a low-alcohol drink was reported by the Daily Mail.
The city of Debrecen, located in the east of Hungary, can offer the cheapest beer prices in Europe. The average price is 92 pence ($1.12) per 0.5 liter, making it six times cheaper than in London. Nearby in the city of Szeged, beer can be found for £1.15.
Further east in Europe, Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, is worth visiting, with inexpensive pubs nestled among Soviet monuments. Here, beer has an average price of just £1.13.
The city of Szczecin in Poland offers the aforementioned drink for £1.18, and in Presov, Slovakia, it's available for £1.22.
Starting from the bottom of the list, we can conclude that the most expensive beer is sold in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. The price of an average 0.5-liter draft beer reaches 8.21 pounds.
Other expensive cities for beer consumption are located in Switzerland. Specifically, four cities - Geneva, Zurich, Lausanne, and Basel - offer a pint of beer at a price ranging from 7 to 8 pounds sterling.
The other top positions in the ranking of the most expensive destinations for an evening with a glass of beer were taken by cities in Norway and Finland.
