InterNations - A Place for Germans in Rotterdam
Grüß Gott to all of our Germans in Rotterdam! Are you interested in getting to know fellow German expats in Rotterdam? Are you looking for advice from other Germans, e.g. which bars in Rotterdam 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 Rotterdam. 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.

With InterNations as my network, I have been able to make many friends learn the ins and outs about living in The Hague.

Making new friends and contacts in the Hague was much easier once I began to attent InterNations events.

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.

Pursue your hobbies with amazing new friends
Do you want to continue pursuing your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living abroad? You can do that easily in our InterNations Groups, which offer activities based on a wide range of interests. Groups are hosted by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month. They organize everything from dinners to sightseeing to board game nights. For example, you can enjoy nature with the Outdoors Group, share your love of music with the Jazz Group, or go on an adventure with the Boat Trips Group. There’s something for everyone!
