Hey there fellow travelers! Mark here with Wolters World, and today we’re talking about some of the most expensive cities in Europe that may not be worth visiting — at least not on your first few trips. Europe is full of incredible destinations, but some cities come with sky-high prices that don’t always match the experience you get.
In this video, we look at places like Zurich, Oslo, Helsinki, and other pricey destinations where the cost of food, hotels, and transportation can shock visitors — and where your money may go a lot further in other European cities. These places aren’t necessarily “bad,” but for many travelers, they simply don’t offer enough value to justify the cost, especially when compared to nearby countries or more affordable alternatives.
You’ll learn: 💶 Which European cities are extremely expensive — and why ❌ Why Zurich and Geneva often disappoint budget-minded travelers 💸 Why Oslo and other Scandinavian cities are costly without offering many must-see sights 🔥 Better alternatives that give you more culture, history, and experiences for less money 📉 When these pricey destinations are worth visiting — and when you should skip them 🚫 Common mistakes tourists make when visiting super-expensive cities 💼 Why many of these cities feel more “business” than “tourism” 🍽️ The shock of 25–40€ simple meals 🏨 Why hotel prices can eat your entire travel budget 💡 Why you might want to save these cities for future trips when you have more time and money
This is an honest guide to help you decide where your travel budget is best spent. Europe has thousands of incredible cities, and some of the most expensive ones simply aren’t worth prioritizing — especially for first-time visitors or travelers trying to maximize their experiences.
