3. Turin, Italy

This Northern Italian city is a relatively new addition to budget carrier’s flight schedules, and it’s about time! With incredible museums, the stunning snow-capped Alps in the background, and, of course, outstanding Italian cuisine, there’s a lot to love here.

Turin is definitely more affordable than other major Italian cities like Rome, Milan, or Venice, and there’s the added benefit of being close to the mountains, if you do want more of a budget ski or mountain escape.

Alternatively, explore the incredible cultural and historical sights, like the Egyptian Museum, the National Cinema Museum, or the Palazzo Reale di Torino.

Return flights to Turin from the UK start from as little as £28. You can find direct routes from regional airports, including Bristol, Liverpool, Birmingham, Belfast, Manchester, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Newcastle, and Glasgow.
