Overview
- Sibiu in Romania is singled out for value, with mulled wine priced at 5–10 leu (about £0.86), cheapest direct return flights from the UK from around £32, and its Fair in Sibiu running November 14, 2025 to January 4, 2026.
- Wroclaw in Poland is presented as a strong budget option, with mulled wine around 15 PLN (£3.08) plus a 15 PLN mug deposit, two nights’ accommodation for two adults from £47, and an estimated total trip from £123.
- Tallinn is noted for low drink prices from €1–2 and a long-running market tree tradition, while Innsbruck, Zagreb and Strasbourg offer broader choices at varying price points.
- The reported figures come from Eurochange’s snapshot using Skyscanner flight data, Booking.com hotel listings and exchange rates as of October 24, 2025, so actual costs may differ.
- Coverage contrasts these continental options with higher example costs at UK markets, citing Manchester where a beer and a bratwurst can total about £25.
