We asked people about the cost of living in Switzerland, they wrote...
"The cost of living in Switzerland is generally higher than in other European countries. Renting in Switzerland is also more expensive than in other regions of Europe. Places like Geneva, Zurich and Lausanne have particularly high costs of living; costs that are even higher than the national average. A nice 1 bedroom apartment in Switzerland will cost you around 800 USD on average, whereas a nice 2 bedroom apartment can cost up to 1200 USD. Eating out at a moderately priced restaurant in Switzerland would cost around 40 USD for a meal for two without alcohol," said a member in Switzerland.
