Readers response: What is the most expensive place you've visited?

When it comes to travelling, there are some destinations around the world that are definitely more expensive than others. 

We asked our readers which place left them the most out of pocket, and the response was overwhelming. Here's what they said. 

Angela Budden - Switzerland for sure. 

Vera Hunt - Italy, but it's a beautiful place so worth every cent.

Pat Isaacs - Probably London, back in 2011. Such a contrast to Bali, in 2013. Had two weeks there, total cost was under $1600, including air fare, accommodation, food etc. Just the air fare to London was more than the total cost of my time in Bali.

Eileen Dunford - The Amalfi Coast.

Roz Harris - Ashford Castle in Ireland, but I would give anything to go back again and stay for longer.

Valerie Southam - Iceland and Finland.

Peter Connolly - I think Qatar, although the Netherlands wasn't that far behind.

Marirose Piciucco - Tahiti and Copenhagen.

Maree Newhouse - Iceland, I just came back from there. $48 for a bowl of lamb soup and $52 for a hamburger!

Gail Ladds - Positano in Italy. Cost me $25 for a milkshake about $7 years ago. It was the cost of the view I think.

Kevin Chapman - Hawaii, but worth every penny.

Peter Brady - Everywhere in the US given the lousy exchange rate, the plethora of additional government taxes, and the mandatory 20% tip.

Chaz Maree - Scandinavian countries are very expensive to visit but so beautiful, so who cares.

Catherine Cotterell - Venice, where the traders sting you as fiercely as the mosquitos.
