The magazine used interesting data from the British tour operator Ski Vertigo to analyze the cost of three beers, a 5km taxi ride, and a McDonald’s meal across 183 major cities to see which places are the least expensive for travelers.
Accordingly, Vietnam’s largest metropolis ranks sixth on the list with a cost of $11.07 (approximately 273,000 dong). Guangzhou, historically known as an important starting point of the Silk Road and a major trading port of China, tops the list. With three beers, a taxi ride, and a McDonald’s meal, travelers in this city would only spend $9.4 (about 232,000 dong).
Next on the list are Gurgaon in India, Alexandria in Egypt, Coimbatore in India, Kolkata in India, Shenzhen in China, Tunis in Tunisia, Beijing in China, and Jakarta in Indonesia.
Time Out magazine began publishing in 1968 as a purely British publication. However, over time, the ranking of cities worldwide has expanded into a regular feature with an international scope covering nearly 320 cities in 58 countries.
