Ranking of the most expensive cities in the world - 2014
The International Survey of Living Costs, which covers 131 major cities every six months. For travelers and expats!
10. Copenhagen, Denmark
The Danish capital constantly appears in the list of the most expensive cities in the world. This year, however, it was relatively “cheaper”: in 2013, Copenhagen was in fifth place in a similar rating.
9. Tokyo, Japan
Due to the fall of the yen, Tokyo also lost its position (last year it headed the ranking). Nevertheless, food prices in the Japanese capital are still among the highest in the world: so, the average cost of a loaf of bread here is as much as 7, 12 dollars! Rent a small apartment in Tokyo will cost almost $ 3,000, and a couple of tickets to the movies – $ 30-35.
8. Melbourne, Australia
About $2,000 for rent, $15 for a movie, $6 for a pub beer. Among Australian cities, Melbourne is second only to Sydney, which, however, does not prevent it from regularly entering the rankings of the most comfortable places for living on the planet.
7. Geneva, Switzerland
One of the most financially prosperous countries in the world has exceptionally high prices, which, however, is quite logical. Food in Geneva is so expensive that many people prefer to go for weekly shopping in neighboring France. A one-way ride on public transport costs about $ 4, a modest lunch in a cheap cafe - $ 30 and rent a small apartment - about $ 2000 per month.
6. Caracas, Venezuela
While this may come as a surprise to many, according to official figures, Caracas is the most expensive city in the Americas! In recent years, due to a serious financial crisis, the country experienced strong inflation. Now a kilogram of bread in the Venezuelan capital costs, on average, $ 9, lunch at a fast food diner - 20-30 dollars, and the price of an iPhone here reaches phenomenal $ 8 thousand! These prices are especially depressing when you look at the average salary of Venezuelans: a modest $700 a month.
5. Sydney, Australia
A $4 public transport ride, a $2,000 apartment and a loaf of bread for $3.40 – life in sunny Sydney is as expensive as it is pleasant.
4. Zurich, Switzerland
Residents of Zurich earn a lot and spend a lot. So, a dozen eggs cost its residents 5 euros, and the simplest cure for a cold - 12 euros. Not cheap!
3. Oslo, Norway
Oslo, like a number of other European cities, is extremely expensive when it comes to leisure and entertainment – for example, a trip to the cinema here costs about $ 20, and a ticket to the museum – about $ 15. And here is fabulously expensive public transport: about $ 5 for a one-way trip!
2. Paris, France
One of the most popular cities among tourists in the world regularly occupies top positions in the rankings for high cost. Nothing can be done: for the happiness of being photographed against the background of the Eiffel Tower (and at the same time being fed and with a roof over your head) you have to pay – and pay a lot.
1. Singapore
This year, the city-state of Singapore became the absolute leader in the cost of living. And it’s not just about its high levels of development and salaries: the fact is that this small island has extremely scarce natural resources. Energy, water, fuel – everything comes here from other countries and, accordingly, household costs are extremely expensive for citizens. Singapore is also the most expensive city to buy clothes.
