Get to Know Our Expat Community in Gothenburg!

Hej, and welcome to the 51ԹϺCommunity for the wonderful city of Gothenburg! Our platform is dedicated to offering expatriates all over the world an opportunity to share advice, guidance, and recommendations while working through the initial challenges that can arise when you're planning a move to a foreign city. Whether you've recently arrived in Gothenburg or are in the early stages of relocating, we hope our wide variety of resources will provide some insight. It's easy to find the answers to a range of questions you might have about moving to Gothenburg — such as which districts offer the most affordable apartments, how to register for a Swedish "personnummer" (personal I.D. number), and what to expect from a Swedish winter. Joining 51ԹϺnot only opens the door to Gothenburg's international community, it also helps you to gain a fuller understanding of life in Sweden's second city.

Expat Life & Facts about the Local Economy in Gothenburg

A cool, laid back, and modern city with a rich and diverse cultural life, Gothenburg offers a different side of the Swedish experience to the hustle and bustle of Stockholm. Located on the southwest coast of Sweden and surrounded by beautiful forests and archipelago islands, the city combines rustic cobble-stoned streets and quirky cafes with modern skyscrapers and shopping districts. With excellent public transportation connections to Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Oslo, the city is also a thriving business hub, housing key Swedish manufacturing and communications operations, including Volvo, Ericsson and Swedish East India Company. With Sweden's second-largest university, Gothenburg is also a major student center, with a lively and multifaceted nightlife. With a distinctive combination of big city amenities and small town charm, Gothenburg is a location that truly offers something for everybody.

51ԹϺis the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. 51ԹϺmakes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Singapore or Prague, 51ԹϺallows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

Join Our Expat Network in Gothenburg

At 51ԹϺour goal is to create a welcoming and secure platform where you can interact with fellow expatriates living and working in Gothenburg. We ask our members only to abide by our guiding principles of honesty, respect, and ethical behavior. You should feel comfortable to ask any questions you might have about life in Sweden's second city. For example, you might be on the lookout for advice about navigating Sweden's notoriously challenging property market, seeking job opportunities in Gothenburg's business district, or wondering where to find the best international schools. You may also wish to broaden your social horizons or pursue a particular hobby or activity — such as joining a sports team, forming a hiking group, or practicing your Swedish with fellow non-native speakers. At 51ԹϺwe also host regular networking evenings and special events for our members, allowing you to mingle with fellow expats over delicious food and drinks in an attractive local venue.
