What Can $100 Get in SWITZERLAND (World's Most Expensive Country) 

Which countries do you find expensive?

@@mathewlee5712 None lol

@@mathewlee5712 When I went to Japan I got told that Tokyo was expensive. Except for the tourist hotspots Tokyo was really cheap (at least from my Swiss perspective). Only the most popular big cities are expensive for me, like New York, London, Paris, maybe Seoul, etc.

@@budarnie I thought you would say Norway.

@@mathewlee5712 Oh right! Totally forgot it, sorry.

Also included are museeums etc.

Thanks!❤️

And most people have a Halbtax as well

@@samueljpower the Halbtax is more expensive than his budget

Damn, he could have taken that ticket and sightsee more.

Yeah sure if you have a good salary but if you earn like CHF4000 or less I can tell you that you definitely notice.

Edi wow

Or you grew up in the other 70% of the country, then you know too 😂👍

Not in DK, S, N and UK.

I mean to be fair, food is food, its an essential while a train ride isn't

@@ridgefrost a 8$ croissant is clearly not an essential lmao. I live in Geneva which is the second most expensive city itw after Zürich and because both are in Switzerland there is just a tiny price difference between them and trust me you won’t see any local going to a bakery to eat a 8$ croissant and honestly, I never saw one…

I agree, no local average from the worker class eats these costy products... but i personally like to support local produce in the price which is sometimes also "out of budget" for most people i know, especially most "BIO" declared products. For many years, BIO was the standard but now it is a declaration for sustainable produce and fair salaries, which has a lot of tax for product assurance in there. It also gets costly if someone wants to import a product: he needs to make sure his products are up to the standards of a mass of declarations. Reserve space for importing the cargo (if Plane or Train, Harbor is kind of difficult except you would use the Rhein River or so and then you also got the delivery cargo truck stuff with a ton of VORSCHRIFTEN like max ton you can carry, max time of driving with min amount of rest, also remember that you need to pay all these people working there with your stuff also the bureau people and of course the massive amount of tax for making all this possible and safely reaches the destination. Oh and you need to pay a tax for the trash your product causes. Aldi or Lidl can be so cheap indeed but also they are often within the lowest of declaration standards or even contain undeclared ingredients. Some have been found just recently to be too unhealthy for our product declarations. Sometimes i prefer it this way but it is also difficult as the moderate or lower class citizen. I appreciate though that theoretically everybody can have IV (insurance for people who are not able to work 100% like the average citizen because of a disease or broken leg etc) or/and Sozialhilfe (they help you get back on track more or less). They give you budgets so that you can be ok for the time you can't work. I personally experienced living on these (low) budgets and it can be very difficult. My budget for a day was about CHF 25.- so you can imagine what i had to eat back then 😂

But better than nothing 😀

@@iceeayt7455 Maybe only on special occasions. Gues, it is a special occasion for tourists.... I made a video in which I comment on this video by the way 😁

Yeah but it's a good one ...

Truth is: they’re all good ;)

also to the one that's homophobic :p

Spends 9 CHF on coffee lolz Eating out is the best way to murder any budget here in Switzerland.

@@wildcraftone I was about to say like wtf such a fool 😂 Who is actually getting coffee like that for no apparent reason?! If you wanna get some croissant and coffee just go to the next backery, get a "pain au chockolat" for about 3.50 and a "Caffee Latte" for 3.- and you're sorted for xour breakfast on the go!

Vloggers.. what do we expect.

Ech be au schwiizer!!!

I am Swiss too and I made a video commenting on this video 😃 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pTFu00fVj_k.html It was so much fun, I think I will do more of those 😂

Hehehe I made a video in which I comment on his spending. With my recommendation, he could have saved about 20$!

I mean he couldnt have known that altstadt is a big scam. He should have asked lokals where the cheapest place is befor he made the vid

Bro go to migros and buy it for 2

The migros choc croissant is probably max 4 francs so... And it's pretty good.

but that won't do as a youtube click bait now! would it?@@alexisjauregui3523

Or just buy a normal croissant in Migrolino for just 1 CHF and it actually tastes above-average in my opinion.

Hi! I'm planning to go to Zürich in October. Would mind sharing where do u usually buy the cheap meals? Vielen Dank!

@@TheRint9495 go to the coop (supermarket chain) restaurants. They charge 10 CHF for a medium sized plate and you can pile up food from the buffet on it as much as you can (one time passage), as it’s not charged by weight, as would usually be the case in such establishments

@@MeYouInTheCarSex Danke schön!

I can eat for free at work and take as much food with me as I can (bakery). If I only go to work and then home, of course I get by with 90 swiss francs a week.

Yes, but its hard. And you dont have a bed for that price

i tought it was a shop for chinese people and arabs

Always as a gift if you don't have a better idea. Ah yeah chocolate will work

Haha wenn mir nüt anders ihfallt denn eif Läderach schenke.

Läderach and Sprüngli are always full of customers with 10 employees constantly serving people lol

I live and work in Switzerland and have no kids to afford. I remember once I was eating a chocolate bar from one of the expensive brands in office, my 40/50-aged colleague noticed that and made some comment about its price. Well, when you are young and single, not considering having kids or properties, the salary will keep you quite a high quality of life. But when you have kids, it will be totally different...

Agree! I never spend $100 in a day 😅

Agreed 💯 % if you wanna lose your money easily go to niederdörfli (part of the old town)

Zurich is cheap compared to interlaken. Shitty plate of pasta for 25.- 🤣🤣🤣

From one Anna Lu to another Anna Lu … completely agree !

Yeah clearly it’s easy to do stuff for one day under 100 bucks !

Say it louder 🗣🗣🗣🗣

And there are cheaper coffee shops, I will never pay 8 Swiss francs for a Croissant, I go to a baker, or take a Brezel

So what

Hahaha true!

@@sabinemagyarovits4202may i ask how much it is from a baker?

I partially agree, but not for "all things".

Thanks 4 the tip,I'll definitely try one of these stores when I travel there one day😁

Yeah except Denner, you could easely be thinking you are in germany 🙄.

@@SaxxPower wait for real😲😲

@@travelten9483 yeah i also live in switzerland, go to lidl or Aldi, thats germany in switzerland

@@stefanzoelly8820Thanks Stefan,I'm definitely going to that Stefan 😁

I was thinking exactly the same…läderach, the oldest Konditorei von Zürich, that wasn’t really representative…

Right!

i think that was the plan because his follower want to hear what they expect... I`ts all about business...

Where?

Socialism sox.

6) est at take always or go to a grocery shop. They have good cheap stuff for food. Eating in a restaurant is extremely expensive in CH. That’s only for special occasions not everyday 7) you were there when it was warm: swimming in the lake is free 8) often museums have a free day, usually Monday

Hi I am going to Switzerland this month and can you recommend me some good and cheap confiseries in Switzerland? Any city would be fine

@@yy-op8lc how was it? Im visiting in august, any suggestions?

@@yy-op8lc how was it? Im visiting in august, any suggestions?

U r a life saver🙌🙌🙌 I'm definitely going to do this than spending my whole allowance at an expensive restaurant 😑

Yes thats true but most of things are pretty expensive and not only in Zürich

@@anastasio_giorghio I will save up then head to Switzerland one day 😁😁

@@travelten9483 😀

@@anastasio_giorghio 🙌😁

True

I don’t know why he says pricy, when in NYC it’s more expensive and in my city of Miami is almost the same as in Switzerland Lol

@@Tegneaufreak you watched it

It did seem like he picked a super expensive coffee shop right off the bat.

@@olewetdog6254 yeah that was expensive also for me as a swiss

Where are some affordable restaurants

@@MeYouInTheCarSex "Good people" ? My family have money to spare. We're not stupid enough to go to a cafe that is stupidely overpriced because it's famous and has a nice view.

There are super cute coffees just outside of the super center or the old town which are a lot more affordable.

Still, the "officially" cheapest coffee option in the city is rumored to be around 4.50

@@MeYouInTheCarSex Thinking expensive = quality is a fallacy. Quality = expensive but not automatically the other way around.

Switzerland 🇨🇭 it’s not he Most beautiful, Great Country too live ! You are very lucky 🍀

To save that much you gotta make at least 100k a year lol. We're not all that fortunate. I mean, I'm not dumb either but I'm also not an architect or banker.

yup! he could have gotten much more stuff for those 100$ if he would have done some research or went to a tourist info desk to ask anything.

Exactly. Going to the city center in Zürich is not cheap BUT for less than 9 chf you have a pass for the whole 110 area, which covers most of the main places to see.

This guy got scammed by ZVV. He has purchased Alle Zone or 7 Zone 24h for Zone 110 24h 🙊🙉🙈

And why the heck is he looking for food in the old town where all tourists have to pay like 3x the price … no wonder he doesn’t get much for his 100bucks … next time make a better research, zurich is quite affordable

@@antidote845 no one ever said Zurich was affordable 😂

Interlaken is amazing. I was born here, grew up here and guess what… I‘m still here and not gonna leave. I understand why tourists come here. As a native I also have to say that some tourists spend too much that nature would give for free. If you want to go swim just pick a lake as we literally have two! But some people pay for a damn pool… 🥴 And also drinks. If you get normal water not sparkling or anything that’s a waste of money cause our tap water is DELICIOUS. 😁

Hi sumina 😊🇨🇭

do they give allot to homeless ppl otherwise iknow where im at next holiday

@@lh5636 there are close to no homeless people because the municipality a person is registered in has to provide them an apartment. So everyone who is homeless is switzerland is basically doing it voluntarily

@@joelwieland1767 this is not true

@@jasoncarbonara2224 it is. But if you're registered in some small village you'd have to go back to that village to have an apartment provided and if you're a drug addict, some small village isn't appealing because your drugs are in the city

Love the comment.

Thank you for saying everything I wanted to say about this vlog

But you guys....we do our research before going anywhere but only locals really now about this thing you just said....unfortunately is not just him that had the experience to not have "fun" at Switzerland because of the prices. I went to Switzerland for a vacation for 4 days and I want to get in my car and go back home on the 2nd day because it was too expensive!

​@@chefpatrese I think everyone being in his/her hometown/country will know exatcly where to find the right/cheap things, but for everyone else it is difficult. Hence, I am not surprised that as a tourist you might not find and get access to all the right and relevant information. I think he made a very good choice with Schober and Läderach, but these are both very expensive (even for us in Switzerland). The Zurich card would have been a good option to be aware of, as they could have made a boat trip as well. Moral of the story: do not only check out the internet, but hit up the locals as well... :)

@@chefpatrese it’s not a local secret that you can get the 24h ticket for 8.80chf. It’s written on every ticket machine ….

Quality of each product?! Dream on mate.

Better to eat enough than to starve surrounded by beauty.

That is so true!

You pay for 50% discount* and it doesnt even work in all situations like subscriptions.

I pay my coffee 3.5 in switzerland (croissant, 1.30) , but i'm in the country side

Hahah yes that seems to me a very fancy café

hold on what 50% discount? never heard of that

@@PascalLuchs Halbtax, but it also costs to get that

Much cheaper is relative. Whereever you go you will lose your 90 bucks pretty fast, my dear.

@@PrizrenaliZH bucks

@@Mark-st7mp thx :)

Sure just go with the Migros budget line, the chocolate is good 😊

@@DreamTravelGuide where?!

lol..you'll be eating for an entire year

@@taboobunny9186 not really

2-3 months on food alone, yes.

@Alex nope

@Alex No, it shows the government has it's priorities right in keeping the food price and daily essentials cheap so that everyone can afford to eat. Electronics here are almost twice as costly compared to US prices. iPhone 13 costs 799$ but here in india its 1100$. Sounds like you just have a grudge against India.

HAHAHAHA

Well then I‘m basically dead cause I definitely don’t have a mil‘

Not that extreme, but yeah, I think 1 in 8 people is a Millionaire. On the other hand: A lot of that capital is frozen up in personal homes - so not really productive or liquid. A house in Switzerland easily goes for 1M+, even within 50KM of Zurich

Haha... But a million, in general, is not what is used to be! Look at the prices of assets these days.... The cities in the US are as expensive as the cities in Switzerland.

Excellent tip!

danish invented app, never knew they were in Switzerland as well

@@Sk8forsocks it’s in many countries, UK has it too.

Germany, too

Literally the best app as a uni student not gonna lie haha

Also, you can get everything for around 1 Dollar at LIDL, dont go to city center restaurants obviously..

yeah that breakfast is a really good way to blow up your budget 2 hours into the day. have to say, the chocolate croissant looked so damn delicious, gotta try that out when im in Zürich the next time.

@@revelate8385 if I did the same video I would easily come along with 90 CHF, I personally spend 20 CHF daily for food and I live in Zurich. Even in Zurich Mainstation the most central location you get a large portion of rice with vegetables for 9,80 CHF. Further, in LIDL you get very cheap prices (-60% than COOP). Further, Migros has a brand "Migros budget" for several products in their supermarket that costs the half of usual prices. Obviously if you go to the city center restaurants and cafes for clickbait its okay to demonstrate how impossibly expensive Zurich is (which is not true). 80 Rappen for A chocolate (1 dollar ) in the store.

Don‘t forget the hot chocolate which costs 10.-🤣

@@munimuz.6283 Hahaha true. It’s ridiculous. An average Swiss can hardly afford a crumb from a leftover croissant at Schobers 😂

I live in Zurich, and sorry but as an Italian the quality is still noticeably inferior to Italy. Unless you go to the very expensive restaurants that - surprise - import everything, mostly from France or Italy. Don't get me wrong, better than many countries especially up north, but not as good as some others close by.

@@Swooshpragler What? I don't come to Zurich and enjoy Italian food. I was talking about local food that use local ingredients. IMHO, it must be nut to come to Zurich and enjoy Italian food.

@@lthiem101 No you must have misunderstood my comment. Local food is inferior to the same kind of Italian food. Not comparing Swiss and Italian foods, I am comparing Swiss meat with Italian meat, Swiss cheese with Italian cheese, Swiss vegetables with Italian vegetables, Swiss fruit with Italian fruit. With the exception of bread, milk, and probably some other stuff, Italian quality of the same foods will always be better than even the local Swiss ones

@@Swooshpragler In your logic, Italian food is inferior to French food. It is fine with me if you think that way. For me, I don't compare Swiss and Italian food based on Italian taste or palate.

@@lthiem101 This isn't subjective. Many Italian foods are superior to the Swiss. Some aren't. Some French foods are superior to the Italian and way superior to the Swiss. Others aren't. This isn't based on palate. If you travel the world and try out different local foods you and literally 99.9% of the people who also did, will agree with you. But hey, maybe you're part of that 0.1% that has broken taste buds. Either way glad for you that you got to enjoy Swiss local food. Peace
