Overview
- Post Office Travel Money’s 2025 barometer puts a two‑night weekend in Vilnius at £509 for two people, based on flights, B&B, local transport, two dinners with wine, hot drinks and market snacks.
- Riga places second at £555.50, with lower on‑the‑ground costs for meals, drinks and airport transfers than Vilnius despite a higher overall total.
- Copenhagen is the costliest destination at about £1,056 for the same basket, with typical two three‑course dinners for two priced at £305 versus £138 in Vilnius.
- Prague drops to 13th after a near‑50% rise in prices, which the barometer links to fewer three‑star rooms and reduced flight capacity, while Berlin moves up to eighth as flight and hotel costs fall about 22%, making it the best‑value western European option surveyed.
- An alternative analysis by SumUp highlights Poznan for very cheap pints and low trip costs, illustrating how rankings change depending on which expenses are prioritised.
