Is the cost of living in Thun high?

Answer this Question

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Thun, they wrote...

"Living in Thun can be quite expensive, as is the case with most Swiss cities. The cost of housing is high, with rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center being significantly more expensive than in outlying areas. Utilities, including electricity, heating, cooling, and water, also add to the monthly expenses. Groceries in Thun can be pricey, with basic items such as bread, milk, and eggs costing more than in many other countries. Eating out is also costly, with a meal at an inexpensive restaurant being quite high and a three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant being even more expensive. Public transportation in Thun is efficient but can be costly. A monthly pass is available, but it is quite expensive. However, many residents find it worthwhile due to the convenience and efficiency of the public transport system. Healthcare in Switzerland is of a high standard, but it is also expensive. It is mandatory for all residents to have health insurance, and premiums can be high. Overall, while the cost of living in Thun is high, residents enjoy a high standard of living, excellent public services, and beautiful surroundings," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Thun, Switzerland.
