LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Prague is one of the cheapest cities in Europe based on accommodation costs. That is the finding of a new survey by TravelMag.com which has compared hotel rates across forty popular city destinations.
Rates were compared for the month of September – the busiest period of the year for most European cities. Only centrally located hotels rated at least three stars and with positive average client reviews were surveyed.
With an average price of €38 euros per night for the least expensive double room, Prague ranks 38th in the survey. Only three destinations came out as cheaper: Bucharest (€34), Sofia (€30) and Kiev (€29).
At the other end of the scale, Milan leads the ranking with an average price of €135 euros, while Stockholm is in second place at €133. According to Paul Joseph from TravelMag.com, the Expo 2015 event currently taking place in Milan has been a key factor in driving up hotel prices, increasing average rates by a hefty 25%.
