Moscow is sixth on the list, due to the weak Russian ruble, low living costs and cheap accommodation.
Andrew Brow, from Post Office Travel Money, said: “Check prices for key items such as meals, drinks and sightseeing before booking because there are big variations.
“Accommodation will make a big difference too as we found that the cost of staying over in a city can vary by hundreds of pounds.”
Amsterdam is the most expensive short-break destination at £535. Oslo is the next most pricey city with a weekend trip around £510.
Reykjavik, Copenhagen and Venice are also costly. But the pound has risen against several European currencies so even the more expensive cities are cheaper than a year ago.
