InterNations is the world’s largest expat community platform, connecting over five million international residents across more than 400 cities worldwide — with particularly vibrant and active communities in Germany’s major cities: Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Düsseldorf.
The platform helps expats build social and professional networks by organising regular events, both in-person and online. From casual meetups and cultural tours to professional networking evenings and sports groups, InterNations events provide a welcoming environment to meet other internationals and locals who enjoy global perspectives.
Membership also provides access to city-specific guides with practical advice on arriving, settling in, and navigating daily life in Germany — covering topics like healthcare, banking, housing, language schools, and bureaucracy. The platform’s forums allow members to ask questions, share experiences, and offer peer-to-peer support.
InterNations offers both a free membership tier (with limited event access) and a paid Albatross Membership that includes unlimited event attendance, featured profile visibility, and access to exclusive networking opportunities. For many expats, it becomes a primary social anchor in the early months after arriving in a new country.
