InterNations - A Place for Dutch in Cologne

Goededag to all of our Dutch in Cologne! Are you interested in getting to know fellow Dutch expats in Cologne? Are you looking for advice from other Dutch, e.g. which bars in Cologne will broadcast your favorite team’s upcoming match or where in town to go for stamppot?

You are cordially invited to be part of InterNations Cologne. Among the members of our international expat network, there is also a vibrant circle of Dutch expats, coming from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and all regions of the Netherlands.

Pursue your hobbies with amazing new friends

Do you want to continue pursuing your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living abroad? You can do that easily in our InterNations Groups, which offer activities based on a wide range of interests. Groups are hosted by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month. They organize everything from dinners to sightseeing to board game nights. For example, you can enjoy nature with the Outdoors Group, share your love of music with the Jazz Group, or go on an adventure with the Boat Trips Group. There’s something for everyone!
