A lavish night stay in Seoul costs $304 (340,000 won) on average, according to data released by TripAdvisor on Wednesday.

Seoul ranked the 27th-least expensive city to stay overnight among 49 cities worldwide.

The cost includes a one-night stay at a four-star hotel for two persons, a dinner with a bottle of wine, cocktails at a five-star hotel and taxi fare traveling 6.4 kilometers.

At $158, or half of the cost of Seoul, Bulgaria’s capital Sofia was found to be the least expensive city for a luxurious night out.

Vietnam’s Hanoi came in second, followed by Warsaw and Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, costing $176, $187 and $191, respectively.

In comparison, Oslo was the most expensive city, followed by Zurich and Stockholm, estimated at $581, $523 and $521 a night, respectively.
