Zug, Switzerland
What do I need to know before moving to Zug?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Zug, they said...
"Get help from a good relocation agent before you come!!!! Ask as many questions as you can think of (no question is too small or silly), try to learn a bit of German (although the Swiss love to practice their english), get involved in a local networking club even if you are not a club-type person - there is a Women's Club in Zug (www.ziwc.ch) which is OK - many different types of activities and people and you can pick and choose. Let your agent advise you on areas - but try to find something not too far away from the school your child will go to - helps the child as well as increasing the chances for car pools!!," remarked another expat who made the move to Switzerland.
"Zug is a small city in Switzerland with a population of around 30,000 people. It is known for its low taxes and high quality of life. Expats should be aware that the cost of living in Zug is high, and that the city is very safe and secure. Expats should also be aware that the majority of the population speaks German, so it is important to learn the language before moving to Zug. Additionally, expats should be aware that the city is very small and there are limited job opportunities. Finally, expats should be aware that Zug is a very traditional city and that there are certain cultural norms that should be respected," explained one expat living in Switzerland.
