THERE'S a city in Europe where a beer costs less than a bottle of water here in the UK. <\/p>\n
In Debrecen, Hungary, a pint will set you back just 392 Forint – the equivalent to 89p. <\/p>\n

Travel experts from holiday price comparison site,\u00a0dealchecker crunched the numbers on the price of local booze in a number of cities and concluded this was the cheapest place for beer across the continent. <\/p>\n
But the price of beer is by no means all Debrecen has to offer, with a one-of-a-kind UNESCO World Heritage Site right on its doorstep. <\/p>\n
The city's number one attraction on TripAdvisor is Hortobagy National Park, with swathes of five star reviews.<\/p>\n
The park, just north of the city centre, consists of a vast area of plains and wetlands and animals including water buffalo, cattle and horses mounted\u00a0herdsmen\u00a0called\u00a0Csik\u00f3s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In fact, it is the largest semi-natural grassland in Europe, with a cultural history that goes back more than 4,000 years – leading tourists to nickname it 'Hungary's version of the Wild West'. <\/p>\n Remarkably untouched given its proximity to the city, it is also a dark sky reserve. <\/p>\n Visitors can ride in a horse drawn wagon and experience the traditional Hungarian way of life.<\/p>\n One visitor said: "This is a fanatic park. The scenery is beautiful and one-of-a-kind."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Another added: "It's like going back in time."<\/p>\n Debrecen has long been one of Hungary's richest and most important cities – in the 1700s it was also the country's largest, although that title is now claimed by Budapest. <\/p>\n Landmarks that people tend to visit in the city include the Great Church, the largest Protestant\u00a0church\u00a0in Hungary, with the largest bell and the Der\u00ed Museum.<\/p>\n The museum's most famous exhibit is the Christ-paintings of Mih\u00e1ly Munk\u00e1csy.<\/p>\n After exploring the sights, there's plenty of places to go for a cheap beer, along with traditional Hungarian dishes like goulash, lecks\u00f3 and chicken paprikash.<\/p>\n Rosie Panter, a travel expert at dealchecker said that as well as finding cheap destinations, saving money on flights and accommodation is the best way to stretch spending money further.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cFor many the idea of a cheeky half or three is now limited to special occasions and vacations. <\/p>\n "As such it\u2019s well worth considering holiday destinations where the cost is less prohibitive.<\/p>\n \u201cJust don\u2019t forget to also search out great deals on flights and accommodation so that you have even more spending money to enjoy in destination.\u201d<\/p>\n Debrecen can be reached via direct flights from the UK, for less than \u00a3100.<\/p>\n A night in the city for two can be booked from \u00a318.<\/p>\n She also recommends visits to Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, where a beer is \u00a31.60 on average, Faro, Portugal, with \u00a32.18 pints and Zagreb, Croatia, where a pint is around \u00a32.44.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, these are some of the cheapest European cities that passengers can visit.<\/p>\n And this is the best party city in Europe.<\/p>\n<\/picture>GO-VEMBER <\/span><\/p>\n
