For a summer getaway that won't leave you skint, one European city stands out from the crowd. Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, is an emerging hotspot with plenty to discover - and the best part is, it's still reasonably priced.
Research conducted by luggage storage firm Bounce reveals that Tbilisi is actually Europe's most affordable destination. The study examined average costs for accommodation, meals, beverages, and transport, as well as the number of free attractions in 70 of Europe's top cities to determine the most budget-friendly this year.
A weekend stay at a hotel in Tbilisi will only set you back £136, and a pint of local beer is a mere £1.64.

In addition to the inexpensive drinks and lodging, Tbilisi boasts numerous free attractions, including the Holy Trinity Cathedral and the Bridge of Peace.
This stunningly overlooked city has a lot to offer.
The Cathedral's architecture is breathtaking, and there are also lovely gardens to wander around, perfect for a day of exploration.
The Bridge of Peace, another architectural marvel that spans the Mtkvari River, is lit up by thousands of LED lights at night, reports the Express.
After a day of sightseeing, you can enjoy a reasonably priced meal. Dining in Tbilisi is also quite affordable, with a three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant costing less than £33.
You can also get two lunchtime meals at a budget-friendly restaurant for approximately £16.50.
If you find yourself in Georgia, you simply must sample Khachapuri - a traditional Georgian dish that's akin to pizza and absolutely scrumptious.
Another local favourite is Khinkali - these steamed dumplings, filled with rich Georgian spices, meat and broth, bear a resemblance to Chinese soup dumplings and are an absolute must-try when in Tbilisi.
Getting around the city won't break the bank either, with taxis charging the same for a 1km journey as the cost of a pint.
Public transport is even more affordable, with tickets averaging at a mere 27p.
