THE MOST AFFORDABLE CITY FOR FASHION IS BERLIN, according to the latest Hotels.com Hotel Price Index. The German capital was ranked as the most affordable shopping destination of the top ten fashion cities in the world, compared to New York which was ranked as the most expensive despite its popularity amongst retail tourists for securing brands on a budget.
The Index, now in its eighth year, chronicles the actual prices paid by travellers in 2011 in more than 142,000 hotels around the world. Tokyo and Barcelona were the second and third lowest priced cities providing spendthrift style alternatives for savvy shopping tourists.
