"The cost of living in Switzerland is relatively high compared to many other countries. Goods and services cost more overall compared to some other parts of Europe, but wages tend to be significantly higher to balance this out. The cost of food, particularly fresh produce, is typically more expensive in Switzerland than it is in other countries. Accommodation in Switzerland is also generally significantly more expensive than elsewhere.
