InterNations - A Place for Germans in Helsinki

Grüß Gott to all Germans in Helsinki! Would you like to meet fellow German expats in Helsinki? Would you like to get insider suggestions from other Germans, e.g. where in Helsinki your hometown team’s next match is shown on TV or where to get roast pork with Knödel?

We would like to invite you to become a member of InterNations Helsinki. As a member of InterNations, you will have access to an active group of German expats, hailing from Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and all regions of Germany.

Why German 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 German members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.
