8. Luxembourg
This tiny dot on a map in Europe will take a large chunk of change when you come for your visit. A superbly adorned city with castles, vineyards, and incredible architecture will surely keep your attention, but there’s no doubt it will cost a pretty penny!
7. London
Being that this is one of the most visited cities in the world, not just Europe, and is known to cost a bit more than your average city, you bet this phenomenal worldly city will make it on this list. See all your typical attractions when visiting, but remember that London offers up so much more. Revel in the architecture, the hustle and bustle, the galleries, museums, and nightlife but when you need an escape, flee to the other areas like Greenwich Park or Kew Gardens to get great views and some peace.
6. Monaco
One of the world’s smallest countries, but surely needs a larger wallet to visit and enjoy. The hedonistic and glamourous city located on the Mediterranean will dazzle your eyes, but the casino’s, days spent on a yacht and the shopping will dry out your account. Totally worth it though, right?
5. Copenhagen
This urban experience will blow away the “competition” of some of the other hot Euro-cities with its flawlessness. Some of the world’s best restaurants in the world, cutting-edge style and worldliness, world-class music, friendly locals, interesting architecture, and history. What more can you ask for in a city? Does this place have any flaws? Oh, yeah, it’s a bit pricey, forgot about that. However it’s a trade off that will pay back with a magnificent experience.
4. Geneva
You know the chocolate, you know the fine jewelry, you know the major banks, Geneva is a relatively small, but it’s very rich in culture and experiences. There are all walks of life living here that speak in all languages, and the lushness of the infrastructure all add up to be one sleek and chic cosmopolitan city that’s unfortunately, going to cost a bit extra during your stay.
3. Paris
Yes, one of the most visited cities in the world, yet it can be relentless on your wallet. That’s OK though, because there’s no way anyone can actually miss it on their tour of Europe. Iconic landmarks, excellent food and wine, shopping for the chicest of chic, architecture to die for, art, liveliness and more. You can’t say no to Paris.
2. Zurich
Effervescent and cultural, this is the wealthiest and largest city in Switzerland, and that equals lots of money to be spent here. But that’s alright. Your bill will all be forgotten about when you wander through the ancient center to get a glimpse at the churches and when you grab a few cold brews at the hip and happening pubs and clubs.
1. Oslo
A magical display of mother nature at her best is what you will get here, and you will get to shell out a few extra bucks for these views, too. Not that the views cost money, but living in this artsy, cultural, and hopping city will cost you. But when you have incredible scenery, a lively night scene at any time, music, A-class restaurants, and sports galore at your fingertips you might not feel so bad about the extra spending.
Ah, who cares, you can spare the extra change for these fantastic, but most expensive holiday destination in Europe, right?
