Europe continues to be the ultimate destination for those looking for a combination of history, culture and natural beauty. However, traveling to the continent is not always an economical affair. According to a recent study by the HelloSafe platform (2025), the countries of Western and Northern Europe stand out as the most expensive for the traveler, based on the cost of accommodation (hotels or rentals), food, local transportation and activities —not counting airfare.
Greece emerged as the fifth most expensive destination on the old continent this year.
Here is the list of the ten most expensive European countries for 2025 and what is “inflating” the bill:
10. Norway (€153/day)
The impressive fjords, the Northern Lights and outdoor activities (hiking, kayaking) make it a unique destination. The high cost of living in cities like Oslo and Bergen, along with gastronomy and accommodation, raise the final price.
9. Italy (€153/day)
Rome, Florence, Venice: the triptych that attracts millions of travelers. Museums, monuments and Italian cuisine raise the cost of an experience that is difficult to compare.
8. Netherlands (€162/day)
Amsterdam’s canals and museums, combined with high demand for accommodation, raise the daily budget.
7. Denmark (€165/day)
Copenhagen, with its architecture, gastronomic scene and theme parks, makes Denmark an expensive but sophisticated destination.
6. United Kingdom (€165/day)
London dominates, with high prices for accommodation, dining and transportation. Cultural life, theaters and historical sights keep the capital at the top of demand.
5. Greece (€168/day)
Our country is among the top five. Islands such as Santorini and Mykonos raise the average, due to high-end resorts and increased demand. Although Athens remains more affordable, ferries, gastronomy and visits to archaeological sites add to the final cost.
4. Luxembourg (€169/day)
Small in size but big in prices. The high quality of life, boutique hotels and gastronomy rank the duchy very high on the list.
3. Iceland (€177/day)
Geysers, glaciers and hot springs make for a once-in-a-lifetime experience – but at a high price, due to the cost of living and isolation.
2. France (€181/day)
The “eternal” Parisian attraction and the French Riviera make the country the second most expensive. Luxury hotels, gourmet cuisine and culture raise the travel budget.
1. Switzerland (€241/day)
Champion of expensive destinations. From the ski resorts of Zermatt to the lakes and cities like Zurich and Geneva, Switzerland offers top-notch experiences at a reasonable price.
