13 'Expensive' Cities You Can Actually Visit on a Tight Budget

13. Geneva, Switzerland: Lakeside Serenity & Free Transport

Another pricey Swiss city, but Geneva offers budget hacks. Enjoy stunning Lake Geneva views, including the famous Jet d'Eau fountain, by simply strolling the promenade or relaxing in Jardin Anglais (home of the Flower Clock). Many museums, like the Natural History Museum and Art and History Museum, offer free entry to permanent collections. Crucially, hotels and hostels provide guests with a free Geneva Transport Card for unlimited public transit use during their stay. Combine this with supermarket picnics for significant savings.
