Moving to Geneva
Expats moving to Geneva will find themselves living amidst Switzerland’s most international city, a long-established haven for skilled expats from every corner of the globe.
As the European headquarters of the UN, WHO and several key multinationals, like IBM and Dell, Geneva has an identity that's far more complex than many of Switzerland's primarily pastoral cantons. The official language of Geneva is French, but expats are just as likely to hear English, Spanish, German, Russian or even Arabic spoken among its polyglot population.
Geneva has plenty of beauty to seduce expats, including wonderful parks and superb museums, and is in close proximity to the best skiing in the Alps. Needless to say, there' s ample opportunity for expats to find respite from the rigidity, diligence and punctuality of the Swiss working week.
It may take expats some time to adapt to Geneva, but once settled in, the city’s many benefits are hard to ignore. One key advantage of living in Geneva is its convenient proximity to other European countries.
