There are amazing places to visit all over the world, some cheap and some a bit more expensive. There are some obvious places that people first think are expensive like New York City and Paris, but there are some places that are really beautiful yet surprisingly expensive. If you go to any of these places, make sure you make a budget before you go.

Tel Aviv

Some things in Tel Aviv are very cheap, like produce from the market and public transport. But, there is a huge tax on alcohol in all of Israel, which makes going out pretty expensive. An average beer cost about $8, so you may want to pregame before you go out.

Reykjavik

Iceland’s capital is really beautiful to visit, especially the surrounding nature. However, it is also really expensive because of all the high taxes. The Icelandic government does this so it doesn’t get too crowded, but it’s difficult being a tourist there because of it.

Sydney

All of Australia is expensive, but Sydney is the most expensive city. Hotels are really pricey, food is extremely expensive, although the quality of everything is very high. Also, if you’re into shopping, you might want to stay away from the shops since they are also extremely overpriced.
