Spring is considered the off-season, and at this time, popular destinations traditionally have much fewer tourists than during the high season. This not only makes cities less crowded, but also reduces vacation prices.

Travel Off Path has compiled the top 5 cheapest cities in Europe to visit in the spring of 2024, based on the daily price index from Statista.

Sofia, Bulgaria

Not so long ago, the European Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators (ECTAA) chose Bulgaria as a priority destination for promotion among tourists in 2024. And one of the reasons for this is a wide variety of vacation options at minimal prices. According to Statista, a day in the Bulgarian capital will cost an average of $36.9.

At this time of year, Bulgaria is especially beautiful: temperatures range from 15°C to 20°C - and this is ideal spring weather.

Bucharest, Romania

A day in the Romanian capital costs $41.97. Bucharest is often called the "Paris of Eastern Europe", but in fact both cities have a unique charm. Bucharest offers tourists stunning sights such as the Romanian Ateneum, the Lipskan district and Herastrau Park.

Krakow, Poland

Daily expenses in the second largest Polish city are estimated at $47.19. The city, which is often in the shadow of the capital Warsaw, can also offer guests a huge number of noteworthy attractions. What to see in Krakow, read in our extensive article.

Budapest, Hungary

A day in the Hungarian capital costs an average of $48.7. The city, which is called the "Pearl of the Danube", can offer tourists not only luxurious architectural sights, but also the famous thermal baths, where you can relax. Read our extensive article on what to see in Budapest.

Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

In the Bosnian capital, you can fit your daily expenses into $49.59, making Sarajevo an ideal city for travelers who want to explore the rich history and culture of the region on a tight budget.
