Trying to avoid expensive dinners while travelling? Here are the cities to skip
- A dinner for two is cheapest in the Philippines, followed by Indonesia, Malaysia and Poland
Want to save money on meals while you’re travelling abroad?
Then you should avoid Zurich, Switzerland, and any of the other places near the top of the list of cities where basic pub dinners cost the most.
Deutsche Bank compared 50 world cities as part of its annual “Mapping the World's Prices” series, and found that in Zurich, a basic pub dinner for two will run you US$72.30 on average. In the next two costliest cities, Copenhagen, Denmark, and San Francisco, a basic dinner for two will run you about US$60. Most of the top cities on the list are in western Europe and the United States.
Meanwhile, the cheapest cities that Deutsche Bank analysed all are in Southeast Asia. Manila, the capital of the Philippines, had the cheapest dinners on the list, with a meal for two costing just under US$15.
