Turkmenistan

Ashgabat in Turkmenistan, an inland state in Central Asia, is one of the most expensive cities in the world. Attractions such as the Gate of Hell (a burning crater on a collapsed gas field that has been burning continuously for almost 40 years) and the Karakum Desert can be admired here. Besides, the Arc of Neutrality is located there. However, the trip to Turkmenistan must be fully planned, because the visa for tourists is only valid for five days.

Hong Kong

One of the many expensive Asian metropolises in this list is Hong Kong. This large cosmopolitan city has over seven million citizens. The rents, food and leisure activities are quite expensive, but if you find loopholes, you can manage to live reasonably cheap.

Hong Kong is known for its modern shopping centers, as well as old villages, an incredible skyline at night and various restaurants.

Singapore

This southeast asian city has a lot to offer. An absolute must-see is the Marina Bay Sands, which was built just in 2010. This 191 meter building with 55 floors not only holds a mall, there is also a casino, nightclubs, a hotel and so much more. What makes the metropolis so expensive are the general needs of housing but also food from other countries and general leisure activities.

Zurich

In the 16th century, the economy was very boosted – which is also the reason why the city very quickly became the financial center of the country. In this metropolis, you have to dig a little deeper into your pocket. But at least Zurich has an impressive shopping offer – the famous Bahnhofstrasse, which is also very well known internationally!

Besides shopping, there is a huge cultural diversity in this city, a wide range of Escape Rooms and many attractions related to the Swiss Alps.
