Published on September 26, 2023

Alright, people, the savvy folks at Sail Croatia have been crunching numbers, and they've got some juicy information for all you food lovers planning a Euro-trip! They dove into the data from 2023 Google Flights and ranked the top 10 most-searched travel destinations in Europe based on how easy it is to dine out without draining your wallet.

1. Budapest – Where Your Taste Buds and Wallet Both Smile

Leading the pack is Budapest, the reigning champ of budget-friendly bites. You can fill your belly for an average of just ₹4,117 ($56.04). But here's the kicker - you can snag some scrumptious cheap eats for as low as ₹727 ($9.90)! It's a budget traveller's dream come true.

2. Warsaw – Abundant Dining Deals

Warsaw nabs the second spot with an average meal cost of ₹4,165 ($56.42), neck and neck with Budapest. The best part? You won't break the bank on fine dining either.

3. Barcelona – Alluring Tastes but Affordable

Barcelona takes bronze with an average meal price of ₹4,350 ($58.77). What's cool here is that you can savour Michelin star cuisine without maxing out your credit card.

4. Paris – A Blend of Pricing Options

Paris, the City of Love and Croissants, lands in fourth place with an average meal costing you ₹5,050 ($68.21). It's got some mid-range meals that stack up to Barcelona, but its fancy dining options might dig a bit deeper into your pockets.

5. Rome – Balancing Act

Securing the fifth position is Rome, where a meal will set you back around ₹5,328 ($71.84). Rome knows how to find the sweet spot between affordable and lavish dining.

6. Madrid – A Fair Compromise

Madrid takes the sixth spot with an average meal cost of ₹5,499 ($74.33). It's a decent choice for your food adventures - mid-range meals won't hurt your wallet, but fine dining might.

7. Amsterdam – A Reliable Price Scenario

Amsterdam comes in at number seven with an average meal price of ₹5,809 ($78.27). Their mid-range meals mirror Rome's, suggesting a bit of consistency in European dining prices.

8. Dublin – Feast Central

Dublin lands at number eight, and it's a bit pricier with an average meal cost of ₹6,714 ($90.90). But hey, if you're up for some gourmet dining, this is your spot.

9. Stockholm – The Posh Selection

Stockholm takes the ninth spot, with meals averaging around ₹6,818 ($92.04). It's a bit on the pricier side, especially when it comes to fine dining.

10. London – Luxury Priced Just Right

Last but not least, London rounds off the list, and it's not pulling any punches in the price department. An average meal will set you back ₹7,656 ($103.65). But hey, it's still the most searched-for travel destination, so there's something about London that keeps people coming back for more, wallet be darned!

So, there you have it, Foodies – your ultimate guide to budget-friendly eating in Europe. Bon appétit and Bon voyage, Amigos!
