Where can I find English speaking people in Zurich?
Hello all,
I just moved to Zurich last week, and was curious where i can meet english speaking people here. Are there communities I can join? or a website for finding friends? I am mainly looking forward to finding a group of people that i can go out with, watch a movie, or have dinner or something.
Also, is there a guide of interesting things to do in or around Zurich somewhere?
Hi Mohamed,
I have a really nice friend for you to meet
Ashraf Younes he is from Egypt and he is the special friend of my son Karl and I, Gretchen Pfeffer - he works at the Adler hotel in the old section of town Zurich/ Niderdorf
There is a really nice area to visit Romanshorn.
The train leaves the airport every hour - 17 after it takes 1 hour. End of the Line is Romanshorn.
Take a walk along the water side & Go to the Panem Bistro for Lunch , Tea Etc. Shiff Restaurant is great as well or Peppe's Cantina.
There is a nice Park , Yachts and Ferry to Freidrickshaven , Germany , where there is a Zepplin Museum. to see and Konstanz , Germany.
I have a flat there that I need to rent for a short while til my son & I return.
It is all furnished really nice just above the Sport Shop on the First level.
It has great views of the lake and Alps.
I can rent it for a week or two or a few nites No smoking
It has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms
It does not have a TV but it has a lot of activity around there so you hardly need anything like that. If you have a lap top you can always connect anywhere.
There behind the park is the Insel Hotel where the dining is great and another view of the Lake as well.
you can e mail me at
I right now am in Seattle, Washington with my son, Karl and we want go get back soon but we have some things to do here first
I also have a tel in USA 206- 282-3381, where you can leave a message or I could call you if you have a good tel #

If you know of anyone who is looking for a place for a short time let me know.

there's a website, broad up by some guys in Geneva, called "glocals.com". The Zurich-community is not too big, but its a great chance to meet international people in Switzerland and post or join activities. Try it!
Hi everybody!
I am a 27 years old girl and now am in Zürick since October, and my situation is very similar than Mohamed's. I am boring here and I would like to meet english people to go out and to have a good time. Is there any communities I can join to find friends?
Thanks a lot!
There are a lot of party boats on Lake Konstanz in Romanshorn or the Ferry to Friedrickshaven
or visit Konstanz , When you get to Romanshorn there is a thurbo train to Konstanz or you can go to Roshacht the other way.
There are a lot of English speaking students there at the lake from Euregio school
I am looking to sublet my flat for a few months.
I have an extra bedroom with bed for 1 or 2 persons ( The mattress can be split)
It is very elegant & fully furnished
If you find anyone I would appreciate it a lot
Pass it along to any of your friends.
try to see the Rennaisance Hotel in Glattbrugg
they have english speaking guests & conferences there

Hi there every body, I hope this will work out! I am here since over one year and its very hard to find English speaking people. I was very busy in language courses in the beginning and after I tried to find communities or friends here in Zurich but not too much luck and I had an accident so I couldn't do any thing for almost four months. Ya I know what a guy but what shall I do against the forces of nature anyway. I'd like to meet people here in Zurich English speaking people or even better Swiss English speaking people so I can practice my German...
Hi Everyone,
My Name is Bill and I live in Konstanz; I'm looking forward to meeting new friends both english speaking Friend(s)and German. If you'll like to contact me pls do so at, and I'll be much more happy hearing from you.
Do have a nice day
I am in the same situation as most of you guys here at the forum. Been here in Switzerland since December 2008 and haven't got the chance to make so much friendships - it's starting to get really boring. I am interested in going out, sports, movie nights or travel. You will find me in Bern.
but what shall I do against the forces of nature 
anyway. I'd like to meet people here in Zurich English speaking people or even better Swiss English speaking people so I can practice my German...
