TripAdvisor has just released a ranking of the world's cheapest destinations for a mini-holiday during the summer.

The annual TripIndex Cities study, compiled by the London-based research company TNS, compared the cost of a three-night trip for two people in 20 popular tourist cities between June and September to find the most reasonably priced summer breaks.

For each destination, the study calculated the price of three nights in a four-star hotel, three attractions, lunch and dinner costs for each day of the trip, as well as a daily taxi fare to and from dinner. The total of these costs was used to determine the ranking.

Here are the most affordable cities for a summer break, along with a breakdown of expenses:
