Brits are raving about an underrated European city where pints cost £3 - and it's a mere two-hour flight from the UK.
If you’re someone who loves holidaying on a shoestring, then look no further than Poland’s sixth-largest city, Gdansk.
The major seaport, situated close to Gdynia and the resort town of Sopot, is a popular stag do destination, but visitors say it makes a decent city break for those on a budget.

With a plethora of bars, restaurants, and clubs to get lost in, flights are currently going from just £14 one-way or £28 return; see below for the full list of cheap flights from major UK airports.
Aberdeen International Airport to Gdansk (2hr 10 flight time): A Wizz Air flight leaves Aberdeen Airport on September 1, returning on September 29. Prices start from £42, which works out at £22 each way.
If you want to make the most of the famous Christmas markets during your visit to Gdansk, it's worth checking out Wowcher's £79pp package deal. Depending on your choice of date you can get return flights and a four-star hotel stay, all for under 80 quid.

According to Wise, the average price of a pint of beer in Gdansk is a staggering £3.05.
Considering cheap beer can be found for just £4.74 in the Midlands and Wales (via The Independent), this is a stellar steal.
But good value beer isn’t all that Gdansk has going for it.
Your morning cappuccino will cost the equivalent of £2.71, your afternoon bottle of vino will be £5.09 and a homemade hangover breakfast of fried eggs on toast will put you back £3.40.
If you’re looking to live a life of luxury, then the Wise calculator claims a three-course meal for two people will be around £36.62. Absolute bargain in our books.

But if it’s just a Maccies you want, then be prepared to pay £6.10 for a combo meal.
