InterNations - A Place for Germans in Lisbon

Grüß Gott to all of our Germans in Lisbon! Are you interested in getting to know fellow German expats in Lisbon? Are you looking for advice from other Germans, e.g. which bars in Lisbon will broadcast your favorite team’s upcoming match or where in town to go for roast pork with Knödel?

You are cordially invited to be part of InterNations Lisbon. Among the members of our international expat network, there is also a vibrant circle of German expats, coming 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.
