Zürich, Switzerland

The financial capital of Switzerland is often named the most expensive city in the world. It’s well-known for the high-end lifestyle it offers, as well as its exclusive shops, luxury watches, and those delectable premium Swiss chocolates. Surprisingly, even though Bahnhofstrasse, the shopping mecca in the city, is the most expensive retail property in Europe, you can find some reasonably affordable luxury products here, including jewelry and fine wine. However, it is still significantly more affordable to purchase items from Austria, France, Germany, and Italy than it is on the Swiss side of the border. Some say it’s more expensive in Zürich because the Swiss Franc is hugely overvalued. In any case, if you’re visiting on a budget, there are a lot of inexpensive shops and restaurants, too, and several cultural spots that you can go to for free. Just don’t go to Zürich to get a facial or a haircut since the city comes in fourth for priciest beauty services. It’s also the fourth-most expensive place to hire a personal fitness trainer.
