Switzerland has a very international feel to it due to the presence of many international companies and banks and not least to the many international organisations with headquarters or departments in Geneva. Switzerland therefore has a long tradition for hosting expats and thriving communities can be found in many cities and towns across the country, although with the majority in Zürich and Geneva. The fact that Swiss people in general are fluent in several languages including English makes it relatively easy for expats to become integrated into the society.
