Your Expat Community in Utrecht

A Charming Medieval City in the Heart of the Netherlands

Almost nobody visiting Utrecht could fail to be moved by its picturesque, almost quaint facades. As with many Dutch cities, there are plenty of canals, with the town almost built on two levels. The city isn't quite as sleepy as it might seem at first, however — its student population is the largest in the Netherlands, which ensures it also has a diverse community and vibrant nightlife. Academia attracts many expatriates, but the city is also the hub of several industries, including the Dutch rail system and a significant banking sector. Whatever it is that draws you to Utrecht, you can be sure to find plenty more that will make you want to stay.

The Network for All Expatriates in Utrecht

Our members here at InterNations are all by approval only, ensuring that your interactions with the group will see you get the best and friendliest advice possible. Once you've joined, taken part in a few discussions, and maybe had some of your own questions answered, there's always the opportunity to network offline, too. Through our activity groups in Utrecht, members have the change to get-together at regular events for everything from fine dining to outdoor adventures. Our larger official events also draw in a wider community of expats and can be great opportunities to network for business or pleasure — so make sure you attend!
