InterNations - A Place for Italians in Zurich

Buongiorno to all of our Italians in Zurich! Are you interested in getting to know fellow Italian expats in Zurich? Are you looking for advice from other Italians, e.g. which bars in Zurich will broadcast your favorite team’s upcoming match or where in town to go for minestrone?

You are cordially invited to be part of InterNations Zurich. Among the members of our international expat network, there is also a vibrant circle of Italian expats, coming from Rome, Napoli, Milan and all regions of Italy.

I was able to connect with other expats in Zurich who enjoy cycling as much as I do and organize weekly rides.

Why Italian 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 Italian members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Our Global Partners

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!
