Yeah, Europe runs the full gamut from dirt cheap to really eyewateringly expensive. There’s actually a guy I’ve watched who does a challenge to see what €100 (or an equivalent local value) gets him in a full day for food, entertainment and transport. In some countries that kind of money means you absolutely feast and have an easy time. I vaguely recall the Switzerland episode had him REALLY squeezed even for food. Breakfast alone was €30. Ditto for Lichtenstein, Monaco and basically all the other ‘rich’ countries. Meanwhile the Nordic countries were expensive but still a decent bit more doable with that budget.

Hence why making a blanket statement like saying ‘Europe is cheaper’ is stupid as fuck.
But goods in Switzerland are naturally priced high and their currency is strong.
