Top 10 Worlds Most Expensive Cities

The cost of living is on a constant rise with almost everything being hiked up in price but what are the top 10 most expensive cities in the world? The cities you should possibly avoid on your holiday if you want to save a bit of cash. Each of these cities had a survey on a few basic items which where totalled up and put into a top 10, the money spent was used on a hotel, return taxi trip, dinner for two and cocktails for two. You may be shocked to find out some of the results.

10. Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Not one of the ones I would of though would be an expensive however the total came to a price of £285.63 an expensive price for a Dominican Republic holiday maybe it’s a good idea to avoid this location.

9. Cancun, Mexico
Another shocker which is slightly more expensive than Punta Cana coming in at £289.24 with the dinner for two being particularly expensive at £52.64.

8. Copenhagen, Denmark
One that I assumed would be up there as Denmark can be a rather expensive place to live and holiday, the total only came a few pennies over Cancun however at £290.91 however in comparison the Hotel was quite cheap but the dinner and cocktails was the real hefty part of the bill.

7. London, England
Again I could see that coming, I actually thought it would be higher up the scale of the most expensive. The total came to £295.97 with everything all round being quite expensive and nothing in particular standing out.

6. Sydney, Australia
The total came just above London with the price totalling £301.81. The hotel, dinner for two, cocktails for two all where relatively nicely priced until the dinner came into it, the dinner cost a total of £109.74 for two!

5. Paris, France
The total cost was £335.37 with the hotel and the cost of the two cocktails being the two figures that really stood out, especially the cocktails at £43.34 for two that’s £21.67 per cocktail, that’s ridiculous.

4. New York, USA
Predictable as its one of the biggest cities in the world popular for just about everything going, for a city that never sleeps there’s no surprise why, the hotel costs loads! The total came to a modest £338.27 which isn’t too bad for NYC in my opinion.

3. Stockholm, Sweden
The hotel was cheap, the return taxi trip was cheap the cocktails weren’t too bad it was looking good until dinner was served that is, the dinner made up almost half the price of the whole trip costing £137.53 with the total trip coming to £342.25, probably should of stuck with a takeaway.

2. Zurich, Switzerland
All round expensive place to be with everything raking up quite the bill, not too much more than Stockholm however with the total coming to £343.24

1. Oslo, Norway
Again, it’s the dinner that seems to have put a dull mood on the holiday bill and left a massive whole in the pocket, the dinner for two cost a total £181.67 with the total of the holiday coming to £381.28 surprising for Oslo.
