How do I meet people in Zurich?
When we asked people living in Zurich about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Zurich is a vibrant city with plenty of opportunities to meet people from various walks of life. One way to start is to take advantage of the many clubs and organizations that offer activities such as sports, music, language classes, cultural events, etc. Networking events are also a great way to meet people, such as business associations and workshops, conferences, and tech/startup events.

"There are lots of English speaking clubs you can join - American, English, Australian and some for Asians etc. If you are an outdoors person the list is endless. You're sure to find something that suits you," explained one expat living in Zurich, Switzerland.
