Expat Life in a Stunning Alpine Location

Few people could fail to be impressed by the stunning vistas around Lucerne, including the beautiful lake, snow-covered mountains, and picturesque old town architecture. It's not only aesthetically that the city represents the best of Switzerland, however — famous museums and galleries as well as great dining, public services and general quality of life help to complete the picture. A growing economy thanks to one of the lowest tax rates in Europe in the area, as well as excellent links to Zurich, have attracted large numbers of expatriates eager to work in one of the most desirable countries in the world.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Abu Dhabi or Khobar (Eastern Prov.), InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

The Community for Lucerne Expatriates

Our membership on InterNations is by approval only to get you the best possible experience when interacting with fellow members. However, our community is also friendly and welcoming to all newcomers, regardless of your background. Once you've had your questions answered, you might want to take things offline, too — our members organize a wide range of activities from hiking to salsa dancing in Lucerne. And our larger get-togethers are also hugely popular opportunities for networking and are not to be missed, so make sure you attend!
