The Location
Living in Geneva
Geneva is easily Switzerland?s most international city, a long-established haven for skilled expatriates 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 far broader than the Swiss parochialism of its rural cantons. The official language of Geneva is French but you are just as likely to hear English, Spanish, Russian or even Arabic from its polyglot population.
The city has plenty of beauty to seduce expatriates; wonderful parks, superb museums and close proximity to the best skiing in the Alps combine to offer respite from the rigidity, diligence and punctuality of the Swiss working week.
Expatriates can take some time to adapt to Geneva, but once settled in, the city?s many seductions are hard to ignore. One key advantage of living there is the convenient proximity to other European countries. This makes Geneva a perfect base to explore the wider charms of the continent while building a career in one of the most competitive and rewarding cities on earth.
