InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Lausanne

Hello to all Americans in Lausanne! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Lausanne? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Lausanne 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: Lausanne can give Geneva a run for its money. The capital of the canton of Vaud is a wealthy Swiss city known for being a focus of international sport and its location in a noted wine-growing region, but also for its internationally renowned institutions of higher education, centers of medical research, and much more! With the extensive public transportation network consisting of bus services, metro lines, and a rapid transit system, 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 the surrounding municipalities, which are an easy commute away from Lausanne’s center.

Although Lausanne 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 Lausanne, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.
