Getting to Know Moscow, the Expat Way

Moscow can seem a daunting city to move to, but once you know your way around, you'll find that it rivals or eclipses many of its Western European rivals in a variety of fields. As well as a remarkable history, Moscow has a long tradition of art, literature, music, cuisine, sport and plenty of other activities that you'll find in excess around the metropolis. Plenty of expatriates have made Moscow their home over the years for all sorts of reasons, and as a land of economic opportunity it shows no sign of dying down in the near future. If you use our community to assuage yourself of your concerns, you'll be able to get settled in and focus on enjoying your life in the Russian capital with confidence.

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 Khobar (Eastern Prov.) or Singapore, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

The Network for Expatriates in Moscow

All of our members on InterNations are by approval only, meaning that you'll have reliable and courteous advice when you decide to interact with the group. Whether your queries are related to practical matters like the Russian tax system, public transport, or work permits, or whether you just want to know where to get a good cocktail, our members have seen and done it all and are always happy to respond to any requests, whether you've just moved or are only considering it at present. There are plenty of offline opportunities within the Moscow Community, too: our members run a variety of InterNations Groups based on all sorts of interests. You'll find groups for French and Italian speakers if you'd like to associate with your compatriots, groups specifically for women, and groups for sport, food, drink, kids and plenty more. Even if there's nothing you like, you'll always have the option of starting your own group with a few like-minded members. Also remember to take advantage of the larger InterNations Official Events, too — these always provide a fascinating opportunity to network with all sorts of people, whether it's business or personal.

    At the first InterNations Moscow event that I attended I was absolutely delighted by the elegant atmosphere and the high-quality expat crowd.
