9. Basel, Switzerland
Basel is yet another incredibly expensive Swiss city, and the amount of Switzerland on this list so far is enough to make me wonder just what they’re making things with in that country. A carton of eggs is a whopping seven dollars out there, and leather business shoes are just a hair under 200 US dollars there. A cocktail is $16 US, and twelve doses of antibiotics are a little under $40. Oddly enough, rent in Basel isn’t too bad in comparison to some others on this list, and neither is a monthly public transportation pass. However, I could absolutely see how the costs of living here could rack up quickly. Sure, you might not be worrying about getting around your new city, but you’re going to have to break more than eggshells to make your morning omelet, you’ll have to break your budget, too.
