InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Utrecht

Hello to all Americans in Utrecht! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Utrecht? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Utrecht which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for st■ turkey?

There’s no doubt about it: Utrecht is more than just an important transportation hub. The capital of the Utrecht province is a university city known for its central position in the Netherlands and the corresponding connections to the rest of the country, but also for its status as the main religious center, the relaxed lifestyle, a famed cafe culture, and much more! With the available suburban trains (sneltram) and local buses as well as a very bike-friendly city layout, navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in neighborhoods to the east (e.g. Oudwijk, Wittevrouwen) or northeast (e.g. Tuindorp, Vogelenbuurt, Tuinwijk), which are less than a 10-minute bike ride away from Utrecht’s center.

Although Utrecht has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Utrecht, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.
