If you're hoping to head overseas next year but have a tight budget, these are the cities you need to consider.
A British bank has analysed 35 of the world's most popular cities where tourists spend the least amount of money per day — as well as the cities touristsshould avoid if they're on a budget.
London-based Starling Bank compared the costs of accommodation, food, transport and tourist attractions in 35 cities to determine the average price per day for a sightseeing visitor.

According to Starling Bank, the cheapest spot to spend a day as a tourist is Delhi, India, where a full day of sightseeing will set you back about $56.49. That includes about $17.05 for food, $1.38 for public transport, $31.60 for accommodation and $6.42 for attractions in the capital territory.
On the other end of the spectrum, if you want to save some money, avoid New York City, where the average daily cost for a visitor is calculated at a whopping $358.41.
