InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Lugano
Hello to all Americans in Lugano! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Lugano? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Lugano 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: Switzerland’s largest Italian-speaking city has much to offer, including some of the best weather in the country. The important banking center is a lakeside city known for its beautiful natural surroundings and many green parks, charming mix of Italian and Swiss culture, delicious food served at grotto restaurants, and much more! With the local buses and funicular railways, 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 residential areas like Massagno or even nearby villages such as Davesco, which are just a short commute away from Lugano’s center.
Although Lugano 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 Lugano, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.

At the first InterNations event that I attended, I met my wonderful partner. We now live together in a flat next to the Limmat.
