Norway. So expensive. On the plus side I lost some weight because I was too cheap to pay for more than one meal a day.

Switzerland. For work. Was relieved when I found a place for coffee under 10 dollars. Thought a 60 dollar cheeseburger was cheap. Spent 2k on dinner for 4 one night. Insane.

Norway is an easy answer. For example, the Norway in a Nutshell tour, which is just taking public ferries, trains and buses through the fjords, was still $200+ per person for the day. The Bergen area is a beautiful place to spend a few days, though.

Denmark was nothing in comparison. There were a lot of pubs where we could get a smorrebrod sandwich and a Tuborg beer for a cheap meal.

Norway. I stayed for a week. We ate mostly from the grocery stores which were not cheap! But the restaurants were absurd

I did a tour of the Scandinaviancountries and they all seemed more expensive than the next. Coffee was like $10 for a basic black.

I’ve been to Geneva, Stockholm and Copenhagen and thought Geneva was the most expensive but... $60 cheeseburger? What? Where are you people eating? There are plenty of affordable options to be found in the city. I never paid $10 for a coffee in Stockholm. Maybe 4$? A 10$ beer was for sure not out of the realm of possibility in Stockholm though.

I think a lot of this varies depending on what you’re talking about. Hotels were most expensive in Tokyo, food is pricy in Scandinavia, etc.

My vote is for London. Not a county obviously but I got used to seeing numbers that looked roughly like US prices but essentially having to double the true cost due to the exchange rate.

After spending two weeks in Norway I traveled to London and Norway made London look dirt cheap.
