How do I meet people in Switzerland?
When we asked people living in Switzerland about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Expats in Switzerland often join local Meetups, international women's organisations, language learning classes, and hiking and sports clubs. Expats can also get involved in social events hosted by the local cultural institutions, such as traditional Swiss markets and festivals. Additionally, many expats look for work in Switzerland and join a workplace social club. Community activities are another way for expats to meet people, such as volunteering in an area where they can connect with locals and learn more about the Swiss culture," said another expat in Switzerland.
"Local English speaking club called Centre Point. Also the Professional Women's Group has very interesting topics and a fun mix of people. I've also heard good things about the American Women's Club," wrote a member who made the move to Basel, Switzerland.
