1. Zurich, Switzerland
Personally, I find it really appropriate that the most expensive city to live in the entire world is in Switzerland, since Switzerland somehow managed to take up a full third of this list. Zurich in particular is the nation’s capital and has a history that dates back at least two millennia. Zurich has more history than a lot of other cities on this list combined. However, being an old city in a very expensive country does not come cheap, and since Zurich is literally at the very top of this list for the entire world, that’s really saying something.
For one thing, when you apply the US to Swiss conversion rate, a nice lunch in the business district will run you almost thirty US dollars. That’s on par with a modest dinner at a chain restaurant in any of these other cities. It costs more to eat in Zurich than it costs for two Americans to get an entree and appetizer each at a local Applebee’s. Think about that. Dinner in Zurich will run you over double that at nearly eighty US dollars, and the movies cost more here than they do in America, even after you add in 3D and IMAX charges. Honestly, I thought I knew high prices being a New Yorker and my brain can hardly wrap around some of these. It does help that Zurich has a rich cultural tradition and a lot of things to do, and this city is definitely on my “must live in for at least a year” list, but clearly I have a lot of saving up to do, as does anyone who wants to move there.
