We have a quick walk through the sculpture park and walk along the Rhine to the Niehler port. On the way back we can have a drink in the Schwimmbad beergarden and then continue to the Flora to watch some plants, flowers and the recently opened greenhouses.

Why Swedish expats move abroad (& how they like it)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Swedish members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

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!
