    Living in Bern, the tiny capital city of Switzerland, felt very hemmed in at first. But through InterNations I met the expat community and many nice locals.

Find People Who Share Your Passions

Referred to as the “Federal City of Switzerland” by the Swiss, Bern can be a great place for expats, especially with the InterNations community helping you to make the most of your experience!

Do you want to continue with your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living in Bern? There’s a variety of InterNations Groups you can join, including everything from sightseeing to hiking. These are run by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month, such as dinners in Bern’s finest restaurants or outings with other expats to explore all that the de facto Swiss capital has to offer, from the lovely Gurten Hill just outside the city, which turns into a mini ski resort in winter, to Zytglogge, the 13th-century medieval clock tower, and much more.
