<p>You might be surprised to learn that a global entity such as McDonald's doesn't have anything resembling standardized pricing concerning its regional markets, so it could cost you less — or dearly more — to indulge in a MickyD's craving in a foreign country.</p>

<p>In the UK, a Big Mac Will Set You Back Almost $7</p>
<p>If you're spending some time in the U.K. in order to check out some of the historic sights, a trip to the golden arches could seem familiar in more ways than one.</p>
<p>Most U.S. menu items are typically represented in U.K. McDonald's restaurants — with some additions, such as halloumi fries, katsu chicken wraps and cucumber sticks showing regional flair — and the iconic Big Mac sandwich is no different. It'll cost you £5.09, or $6.98, versus $5.89 closer to home, according to MacciesMenu.</p>
<p>A small fries comes in at £1.17 ($1.61 USD), and a small soft drink at £0.99 ($1.36 USD), with the fries costing $2.69 in the U.S., and the drinking coming in at $1. The fries are actually cheaper abroad!</p>
<p>Other items of note: the McCrispy at £6.19 ($8.49), Double Quarter-Pounder with Cheese also at £6.19, and Filet-o-Fish at £4.79 ($6.57). Back in the United States, those sandwiches cost $4.59, $7.29, and $4.79, respectively.</p>
<p>Switzerland Boasts the Most Expensive Big Mac in the World, However</p>
<p>If you're wanting to chow down on some McDonald's while visiting Switzerland, you'd best be ready to haul out your checkbook.</p>
<p>According to an infographic circulated by The Economist in 2024, a Big Mac cost an average of $7.14 at that time, and things apparently haven't changed very much in the interim.</p>
<p>Assuming a relatively stable price versus today's menu costs, UberEats in Zurich is offering a Big Mac by itself for 8.20 Swiss francs, or $10.33 USD — suggesting a 44% premium attached to the delivery service. One would need to slash prices on UberEats by about 31% to achieve parity on the Big Mac price in-restaurant.</p>
<p>Taking that into account, restaurant prices of 7.90 CHF (Swiss francs) for a 4-piece Chicken McNugget Happy Meal, 4.50 CHF for a medium soft drink, and $5.60 CHF for a medium fries can be estimated at $6.87, $3.91, and $4.87, respectively. A 4-piece Chicken McNugget Happy Meal costs $3.99, a medium soft drink $1.49, and a medium fries $3.89 in the United States. Cheaper to stay home!</p>
<p>In France, McDonald's Is Still Notably More Expensive (Just Not as Pricey as Switzerland)</p>
<p>France may be known for a host of sightseeing opportunities in addition to innumerable gastronomic and culinary adventures, but if you're looking to sit down for a feast of old-fashioned McDonald's, it's still going to be (relatively) hard on your bank account.</p>
<p>Per prices listed on the McDonald's Champs-Elysées website, a Big Mac combo will set you back 11.30 €, or $13.31.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a Filet-o-Fish meal rings up to 9.30 € ($10.95) against $9.69 stateside, and a McCrispy meal comes to 11.90 € ($14.01) versus $10.09 for a Deluxe McCrispy combo in the U.S.</p>
