LONDON is the most expensive city for an evening out for Australian travellers, a cost comparison of the world's major cities shows.
The British capital tops the list in a cost comparison of an evening out for two people in key tourist cities around the world.
Hanoi offers the most affordable night out for travellers, with a total cost of $141.57.
At more than triple the cost of Hanoi, London topped the list as most expensive with a cost of $520.19.
Sydney ($393.61) was the ninth most expensive of the cities surveyed.
The TripAdvisor TripIndex is tracked against the Australian dollar and is based on the combined costs for two people of one night in a four-star hotel, cocktails, a two-course dinner with a bottle of wine, and taxi fares.
"TripIndex helps travellers to see where their pound goes the furthest,'' TripAdvisor spokeswoman Emma Shaw said.
"The list shows that many Asian cities, along with some European cities - like Warsaw and Sofia - are very affordable once you're on the ground.
"Some cities traditionally considered expensive - like London, Paris and New York - actually cost three times more than the cheaper cities in the list for an evening out.''
Hotel costs were the pivotal factor in determining the cheapest and most expensive cities on TripIndex.
The cheapest average hotel room goes to Bangkok at $81.35 a night, while the most expensive goes to London, at $362.68 a night.
South-East Asia featured heavily in the 10 cheapest destinations, claiming four cities in total, including Hanoi as the cheapest city. Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta ranked third, fifth and ninth.
