The expat community in Budapest - Opportunities to socialize

If you live in areas that are preferred by expatriates, there is a really good chance that
some of your neighbors are expatriates themselves. International churches, schools and
international companies also provide a natural platform to meet other expatriates. You will
have many opportunities to socialize with other expats in Budapest.

Networking plays an important role in business and social life in Budapest. Therefore,
various business or non-business related events help the expatriates keep in touch.

There are numerous professional groups and associations that accept new members
for nominal annual fees. These associations often provide networking opportunities. A
good start would be the chambers of commerce (for English speakers this would include
the American, British and Canadian Chamber of Commerce). Also, there are chambers of
commerce for Sweden, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and France.

Usually the introduction by an existing member, or a recommendation by a common
acquaintance suffices to grant you an invitation into one of these groups. Often events are
announced via embassies or on the internet, inviting newcomers along with regular
members.

Non-business expat clubs in Budapest include Hash House Harriers and First Tuesday.

Meeting other singles in Budapest
