This issue will also influence which places people desire to visit in the coming months. We will not just monitor rising costs in the United States, but we will also assess other countries.

Wizz Air has compiled a list of the cheapest places to visit based on the current cost of living to assist you in making your final vacation selection.

Wizz Air considered daily rent, a pint of beer, bottled water, an average dinner, and short taxi journeys when determining the inclusions.

It determined the average daily cost of living in each country, as well as strategies to save up to £100 in each one.

The top five destinations are listed below.
