71 Most expensive (least expensive too) Cities List

By Nick August 15, 2006

I am a little late to the party, but UBS (Switzerland’s major bank - Union Bank of Switzerland) came out with a list of the 71 most expensive cities to live in. It is rather predictable, but it is nonetheless interesting to look through.

The list doubles as a budget traveller’s destination list by just flipping the list around. So Kuala Lumpar is actually number one. But really, it is a good reference when finding destinations to visit where you can get by on a few dollars a day.

71 most expensive cities

The top 5 were:

  1. London
  2. New York
  3. Oslo
  4. Tokyo
  5. Zurich

The budget travel remix list looked like this:

  1. Kuala Lumpar
  2. Dehli
  3. Manila
  4. Lima
  5. Vilnius (It’s in Lithuania but…. I didn’t know that without Wikipedia’s help. Learn something new every day)

The entire list can be found over here at citymayors.com.
But of the all the cities on the list, I was surprised Lima was that cheap to live in. That definitely helps Peru’s status on my dream travel destinations. Enjoy the list.
