The 25 most expensive cities to date in
If you’re looking for love abroad but are strapped for cash, you should stay away from these cities.
In a new report called “Mapping the World’s Prices,” Deutsche Bank created a “Cheap Date Index.”
The data ranks the cost of an affordable night out, including expenses such as cab rides, dinner or lunch for two at a pub or diner, soft drinks, two movie tickets and a couple of beers.
Ultimately, nothing came close to matching Zurich for the second year running.
In the report, Deutsche Bank strategists Jim Reid and Sukanto Chanda offer the following suggestions on dating frugally to the residents of the Swiss banking hub.
“Our advice to those in Zurich is either to marry young or choose your blind dates carefully,” they wrote.
