In a recent survey done by ABTA (a leading association of travel agents and tour operators), Lisbon (Portuguese capital) has been named Europe's most budget-friendly capital city for 2023. The annual travel survey analyzes tourist costs in 35 European cities, among which Lisbon has come out as the winner and the best budget location for a city break.

Vilnius, Lithuania’s capital, Krakow (a city in Poland) and Athens (in Greece) were on the second, third and fourth positions in the list respectively.
