"Expats in Zug often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. As German is the official language, many expats find it difficult to communicate with locals and to access services. Additionally, the Swiss culture is known for its formality and reserve, which can be difficult for expats to adjust to. Furthermore, the cost of living in Zug is high, making it difficult for expats to find affordable housing and other necessities," explained one expat living in Switzerland.
