Ryanair launches £13 flights to 'Venice of the North' where pints are less than £3

Travelling has never been more affordable thanks to the boom of budget airlines and their countless offers.

Top of the pile for many is Ryanair, with the Irish company this week offering yet another sale when it comes to jetting off to somewhere rather lovely.

Issuing a 'final call' warning to customers, an email from the company alerted punters to a £12.99 sale that runs until the end of the weekend (28 April).

And one rather delightful location makes the list of cheapest flights currently available, at a few pence over the £13 barrier.

Dubbed the 'Venice of the North', it costs as little as £13.86 to get there from pretty much every corner of the United Kingdom.

The nickname comes from the sheer number of bridges there are scattered throughout the stunning city, with 130 bridges and footbridges across the city's many canals and rivers.

And despite not being on the coast, the city even comes with beach bars where you can relax in the sunny weather and get the best out of a city and coastal break at the same time.

Then there's the beer. Incredibly affordable, a large beer (500ml) in the city will only put you back around £2.39. No one's complaining about pints for under three quid, are they?

The location we're on about is the Polish city of Wroclaw. Pronounced 'vrot swaaf', the city is ideal for those who love a crisp pint and open water.

The Polish Tourism Organisation says: "Thanks to the city beach bars, the close surroundings of the Odra River have flourished again. In addition, access to the rivers allows the organisation of various types of water activities - kayaks, boats or cruises."

For those after a bit of a cultural excursion at the same time, Wroclaw Old Town should be top of the list. Complete with beautifully coloured houses going up five or six stories, they tower over this part of Worclaw and transport you back in time.

Then there's Cathedral Island, which is one of last remaining locations in Europe with a dedicated lamplighter, who every evening makes his way around the island lighting gas street lamps. A truly immersive experience that began hundreds of years ago.

Want to explore the nightlife? Then head to Four Temple District where you can dig in to local delicacies and stay up to the early hours having a few drinks with your best mates or loved ones.

Ryanair flies to Wroclaw from Bournemouth, Bristol, Glasgow, Liverpool, and London Stansted airports.
