How do I meet people in Heidelberg?
When we asked people living in Heidelberg about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"I met people mainly by going to bars, many of which, because of the Army presence and international community, cater more to English-speakers and Americans (the downside of this is the GI crowd, which, despite having met a lot of cool soldiers, also has a lot of violent and ignorant drunks.) There are probably more wholesome ways of meeting people, but I'm wouldn't be the one to know. If you get a job on a U.S. base, they have a lot of programs and such aimed at helping families and new arrivals adjust and meet new people. The university also to host a lot of cultural events and such. There are a lot of nearby woods and mountains so there's always athletic/outdoors type opportunities," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Heidelberg, Germany.
"Expats in Heidelberg can join a variety of clubs and activities, such as language exchange groups, sports teams, and cultural events. Expats can also meet people by attending local festivals, visiting museums, or exploring the city's many parks and gardens. Additionally, many expats find it helpful to join online forums and social media groups dedicated to connecting expats living in Heidelberg," commented one expat who made the move to Heidelberg, Germany.
