Sofia tops the ranking for the best value European cultural destinations from a survey of forty major cities. The research finding comes from the company Price of Travel in their report, "Europe 3-star Traveller Index", published on 30th March 2011.
The rating takes into account the following cost factors based on two people sharing hotel rooms and taxis:
According to the compiled figures from Price of Travel, a day in Sofia costs $46.91. Second comes the city of Budapest, where the daily cost for tourists is about $9 more than Sofia. In third place is Krakow at $58.96, followed by Bucharest - $60.98 and Warsaw - $80.12
With a daily cost of $136.63, London is listed in 32nd place, making it more costly than: Moscow, Brussels, Helsinki and Nice. The most expensive tourist destinations, though, are Oslo, with a cost of $170.78, Stockholm at $179.40 and Zurich where tourists will pay a hefty $188.44 for their day.
This is the second set of research findings this year from Price of Travel. In January, they published their results from a similar study based on costs for backpackers, rather than 3-star travellers. In this research Sofia was, once again, rated as Europe's best value destination.
The rating takes into account the following cost factors based on two people sharing hotel rooms and taxis:

- Two 3-kilometer taxi rides per day (one ride paid per person)
- One cultural attraction, such as a popular museum, per day
- Three meals per day using the top end of the range for budget meals
- Three beers (or wine) each day
