Portugal

Portugal is Western Europe’s cheapest country with a daily budget of $50-70, offering quality unmatched on the continent. Lisbon and Porto feature $2 pasteis de nata, $4 glasses of wine, and public transit at $1.50 per ride. The Algarve coast rivals Spain’s beaches at half the price. A multi-course menu do dia costs $8-12 including a drink, and week-long surf camps start at $400. This efficiency outperforms #8 Bolivia for European travelers seeking cultural richness without rugged travel, delivering a seamless blend of affordability and comfort.
