Where can you find the most expensive and cheapest beer in Europe this summer

As we get ever closer to summer, it's not just the temperatures that are rising, but also the cost of living for many of us across Europe. Being able to have a cool drink or two is a favorite activity for many of us, but often the high prices can put them off. German online travel comparison and booking site Omio has done some research and found that European capitals offer the cheapest liters of beer, so you can combine sightseeing with a drink in the sun.

For just over €1, Minsk is home to the best value beer on the entire continent. The capital of Belarus is known for sites including the Strana Mini Museum and Victory Square. While traveling there is a little difficult at the moment, it's a city to add to your city break list, especially if the €1.05 beers tickle your fancy.

Head south to Moldova and you'll find the second most affordable glass. At just €1.29 on average, Chisinau's offering won't break the bank. While you're there, there's plenty to do, including visits to the Arcul De Triumf, Chisinau Cathedral and Stephen the Great's Central Park. Chisinau is famous for its variety of bars on offer too, meaning you'll be spoiled for choice when deciding where to go for a beer.

Perhaps surprisingly, the most affordable beers can often be found in capital cities off the beaten track for many tourists. Baku in Azerbaijan, Tbilisi in Georgia and Armenia's capital Yerevan are all hotspots for cheap drinks, with prices at €1.35, €1.69 and €1.83 respectively. If you want to stick to the more well-trodden destinations, then there are also options for more sightseeing trips.

In sixth place on the list is the popular destination of Sofia. The average beer in the Bulgarian capital costs only 1.93 euros. At that price, it's perfect if you're on a high-energy minibreak or visiting cultural hotspots like St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral or the city's countless thermal and mineral springs.

A beer will also cost you €1.93 in the next Skopje. North Macedonia is not only home to the second highest number of mountains in the world, but is increasingly a destination for tourists wishing to explore the often underrated Balkan region. Prishtina in Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina's capital Sarajevo are eighth and ninth on the list, with a glass costing 1.99 and 2.04 euros respectively.

In last place – but still very affordable – is Prague. The Czech capital is one of Eastern Europe's most popular destinations, so if you want to visit somewhere with a long-established tourism industry, this is a good opportunity. Even better, pints of beer cost an average of just €1.86, meaning you can take in all the sights and still have a drink at the end of the day.

At the other end of the scale, Omio revealed the most expensive places across Europe to buy a beer. At the top is Reykjavik. Considering Iceland is an island nation, it's no surprise that beer is less affordable there than in many other countries, but at €10.03 each, a few of these can really break the bank. Other Nordic capitals are also in the top 10, with Oslo, Helsinki, Copenhagen and Stockholm in second, third, sixth and ninth place respectively. Since Brexit, many Britons have complained about the high prices of everything, not least alcohol.

Few eyebrows will be raised, then, to discover that the average price of a beer in London is €7.57 – higher than even Monaco, a famous playground for the super-rich, where a glass will cost €7.47 €. Also on the list are Paris, the capital of Switzerland, Bern, and a place often associated with beer, Dublin in Ireland. Nowhere on the list of the most expensive cities is there an average price of beer less than 6.50 euros. Depending on your budget – and the extent of your love for the drink – we'd advise you to plan wisely to avoid a financial hit when the bill arrives.
