Read Up on Expat Life in Geneva

With a population of 185,000 people, made up of more than 40% of expats, Geneva is the third largest city in Switzerland. Geneva is a fascinating place filled with a wide range of people — from businessmen to those working at non-governmental organizations and the United Nations. As a result of the international air of Geneva, the city has three official languages: French, German, and Italian. French is the most commonly spoken, but many living in Geneva also speak English. Geneva is also a very accessible city. It boasts an airport, trains which are always on time, trams across the city, and even ferries across various points of Lake Geneva. It is incredibly simple to get from one place to another at an affordable fee. As an affluent area and a hub for various organizations and businesses, your Swiss Francs do not tend to stretch very far when living in the city. This being said, there are a huge number of career opportunities in Geneva over a wide range of industries. If the variety of businesses in the area were not enough, the local economy is further aided by the University of Geneva. In addition, the city offers a rich variety of schools (public, bilingual and private, including many international schools) and well-ranked universities. However, sometimes is hard for new arrivals to secure a place due to the high competition, so make sure to apply for a place early one. Geneva also is one of the top 10 safest cities in Europe, so choosing it as a place where to raise your children is not a bad idea. Geneva has earned a reputation as a gourmet town. The cuisine is strongly influenced by France and Italy, and even the most discerning expats will be satisfied. Although Geneva is a relatively small city, there are many opportunities for fun. The nightlife is unexpectedly diverse and filled with people from all over the world. Lastly, choosing to live in Geneva, you should know the weather is changing all the time. Summers are nice and warm, but in winter the temperatures do drop to around freezing. However, these conditions are perfect if you are huge fans of mountains covered with a lot of snow for skiing.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Amsterdam or Beijing, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.
