Looking to book a city break? A “beautiful” city in Romania has been named as the cheapest mini break destination in the world.

A spokesperson said: “Despite its small size, the city is packed full of culture, hosting over 30 festivals throughout the year, from the Central European Film Festival to Vest Fest. It’s easy to see why the city was voted Europe’s capital of culture in 2023.”
The team’s research found a hotel room costs around £82 per night on average while taxis are also very affordable.
