18Jun London & Moscow Top the Priciest Cities List

According to BusinessWeek, both Moscow and London have been surveyed to be the most expensive cities for expatriates.

The global top 50 saw 30 European cities named. Milan (11), St Petersburg (12), Paris (13) and Dublin (16) also scored high, with Dublin now just 0.4 percent less expensive than New York and pricier than Rome.

The EU capital, Brussels - home to some 80,000 EU officials, press and lobbyists - came in at 44, between Los Angeles and Abu Dhabi, climbing from 70 last year. Sofia was Europe’s cheapest city, coming in at 108th place.

I was kind of surprised to see Moscow at the top of this list. But then again, I’ve never been to Russia. People are always complaining about the cost of living here in the States, but when you see lists such as this which lists out cities with a higher cost of living you should be thankful for where you’re at.
