When looking at the most wallet-friendly countries in Europe, Hungary was named the cheapest for British expats to move to with a cost of living index of only 28.2 on a scale of 100.

It is described as Europe’s underrated star and considered a relatively affordable place to live.

According to the cost of renting of a city-centre flat, a whopping 68.2 per cent savings is had compared to renting in a place in Berlin.

Moreover, the cheaper rentals combined with a lucrative EU salary could see you smiling all the way to the bank.

Figures show eating out in Hungary averages around £7.50 (€9) with the price of a coffee at around £1.60 (€2).
