"Living in Bern is considered to be quite expensive. The cost of housing is high, with rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center being significantly more than in other cities. Utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, and water are also costly. Groceries in Bern are also expensive, with basic items such as bread, milk, and eggs costing more than in many other countries. Eating out at restaurants can also be quite pricey, especially in the city center. Transportation costs in Bern can add up, especially if you own a car, as gasoline prices are high. However, public transportation is efficient and widely used, but it is also more expensive compared to other cities. Healthcare in Switzerland is of high quality, but it is also costly. Everyone is required to have health insurance, and premiums are high. In terms of leisure activities, prices for things like cinema tickets, gym memberships, and other entertainment options are also higher than in many other countries. Overall, while salaries in Bern are also generally high, the cost of living is considered to be one of the highest in the world," said a member in Bern, Switzerland.
