Budget-friendly European holiday spot less than 3 hours from London where you can swim with dolphins
European city breaks can be quite costly when you factor in flights, hotels, food, and tourist attractions. However, there is one destination which has been named the most budget-friendly and it's less than three hours from London. According to the annual Post Office City Costs Barometer , Lisbon is the most cost-effective city break in Europe. The Portuguese city works out cheapest based on a two-night weekend stay in a three-star hotel, including a visit to a museum, gallery, sightseeing bus tour, and public transport for the day. What's more, just an hour's journey away are the biggest waves in the world - perfect for a day of surfing - and, you can even swim with dolphins, making it the perfect mixture of culture and beachy relaxation few city breaks have. Lisbon is also home to delicious cuisine and independent boutiques. READ MORE: The 'beautiful but underrated' National Park 2 hours from London that 'rivals' the New Forest Head to P...
