Of those the two best ones are prague and lisbon. Unfortunately i have been to neither :/

Edit: hm, the list mentions porto. Maybe lisbon costs more

Air fare seems to be a major omission here

You can cut the hotel rates by 40-50% by staying in hostels, too, although in places like Europe and the US hostels are rapidly upscaling to the point of being basically hotels. It sucks.
