Riga, Barcelona or Budapest?

Question

Got some cheapo flight vouchers from the paper and can't decide where to go. Done Prague and looking for something similar.

Whats the costs of living. i.e pint of beers meals etc which would you recommend, cheers

Answer 1

Barcelona is undoubtedly the more expensive destination, but its just great for short break. I wouldn't bother with Riga, Latvians are particularly unwelcoming to the British.

Answer 2

Riga or Talinn....More fun if you like Prague. BUda is a little large and overwhelming plus there is more English spoken in the Baltics and probably hotter women.

In latvia a beer costs 1-2 Lats...i dont knwo what that is worth today but its not that expensive...cheaper than prague probably...but I think estonia was more fun. Plus then you can take a boat to helsinki if you want

Answer 3

I loved Riga, and they have buses (about 5 hours) to Vilnius, Lithuania (really nice!) and Tallinn (also nice but more touristy).  You could do Riga and Vilnius or Riga and Tallinn or all 3 or just Riga.  It was a nice surprise.  The prices were low in Riga and Vilnius, but higher in Tallinn.  All 3 cities were worth a visit and I wouldn't worry about them not welcoming British tourists.  That depends on you.  If you're a handsome devil like me, they'll love you truly.

Answer 4

BARCELONA!!!
