How expensive is Zurich, Switzerland?
Zurich is the most expensive city in the world in 2024 according to multiple financial reports from companies like Forbes and Architectural Digest. Switzerland is one of the most expensive countries in the world, so it makes sense that they would have some extremely expensive cities.
The biggest culture shock in Switzerland for me was the cost of food. In Zurich Old Town most restaurants cost at least $25 for a meal and many were much more expensive than that. Even at Burger King in Zurich a single Whopper cost $10 and a combo with fries and a drink is up to $18!
Zurich is definitely not a city for travelers on a tight budget. If you are a budget traveler and want to check out Switzerland my recommendation would be to grocery shop as much as possible because at least the grocery store was relatively affordable.
One other crazy thing to me was the amount of fancy watches and jewelry on display in glass windows for extremely high prices. I walked past a store selling Swiss watches in the window for well over $5,000. Switzerland is a fascinating place!
