#6 Zürich, Switzerland
Coming in at the 6th most expensive city in the world is another Swiss metropolis, Zürich, 278 km away from Geneva—home of the Swiss National Museum, Zürich Opera House, and Zürich Zoo. The country’s financial capital, which sits at the north end of Lake Zürich, is home to waterfront walkways, high-end boutiques, and, of course, fancy chocolate in all shapes and sizes. Average monthly salaries are around €6,000 and rents are about €2,400 for a one-bedroom in the city center. But—beer is cheaper than in Geneva, at less than €3! Zurich is well known for its luxurious lifestyles and notable residents, like the late great Tina Turner, Albert Einstein, James Joyce, Richard Wagner, and countless eminent people famous in Switzerland and Europe.
