Prague’s traditional Czech Pilsner beer is what hooks many tourists into returning and the beer is so affordable here, also around £1.74, that it’s literally cheaper than bottled water. The golden liquid is often dubbed as some of the best-tasting beer in the world.

Despite Brits steadily making up the largest group of international visitors to Spain, this destination is on the higher end when it comes to an alcoholic beverage. Across mainland resorts, the Balearic and Canary Islands, you’ll be spending £2.56 per pint on average.

8. Turkey

TurkeyJet2

Home to cats galore and iconic cultural landmarks, Turkey is a perfect blend of relaxation and buzz. Beer here won’t leave you skint but at £2.77 it’s more than double the cost of one in Tunisia.

As Jet2’s puts it: "That means two people enjoying a beer each in Tunisia could save £7.48 compared with the UK average – leaving more in the holiday kitty for another round, an ice cream or two, or a meal out.”

9. Poland

Last up is Croatia and after visiting the old town in Dubrovnik - aka King's Landing for Games of Thrones fans - or “strolling along the waterfronts of the Dalmatian Coast”, at the highest price, you can pick up a beer for £2.99 on average, which compared to the UK’s £5.01 cost is still a steal.

David Hills, Chief Customer Officer at Jet2, said: “We know that value matters to our customers, and that doesn’t just mean getting a great deal when booking their holiday. It’s about how far their spending money goes once they arrive too.”

So, whether you’re after a beachside beer or a city-break pint, these destinations prove you don’t have to spend a fortune to raise a glass on holiday.
