Out of all the cities which placed in the Expat City Ranking, Kampala performs the best in terms of expats feeling at home in the city. Unfortunately, when it comes to the other individual factor in the Feeling Welcome subcategory — how easy it is to get used to the local culture — expats are not quite as content.

New to the Expat City Ranking in is bronze medal holder, Taipei. The Taiwanese capital does well across the board, obtaining a spot in the top 10 for three of the four Getting Settled subcategories and only falling short for the Local Language subcategory, in which it places 31st. Expats also feel Taipei is not the easiest city to get around in without local language skills: One Philippine expat feels that the language barrier has no effect on their relationship with locals: Stuttgart not only ranks last in the Local Language subcategory, it also underperforms in the Local Friendliness subcategory, placing 70th.

Unlike Stuttgart, which scores consistently in the bottom 10 for all four subcategories, Bern closely escapes by ranking 62nd for the Local Language subcategory. They also comment on their frustration with the different opening hours in comparison to their home country: One US American expat feels that this kindness is innate to the Vietnamese culture in general: A Canadian respondent in the city also points out: Coming 13th in the Getting Settled Index overall, Barcelona does particularly well with regard to expats feeling at home in the city 5th out of 72 , with 81 percent of expats agreeing to the question vs.

One US American expat comments on their general contentment with their life in Barcelona, comparing it to their state of life in their home country: The pace of life is slower here than in the US, and that has been very calming for the whole family while at the same time, Barcelona is a very exciting city to live in.

Likewise, the Spanish Capital, Madrid , performs above average in 18th place for the Getting Settled Index, but does particularly well for expats easily adjusting to the culture, coming 9th out of 72 cities worldwide. Another US American expat living in the Spanish capital commented: Scandinavian cities Stockholm 70th and Copenhagen 63rd , on the other hand, are not just cold weather-wise but also for making expats feeling welcome.

Notably Swiss cities perform below average, with Bern in 71st place underperforming the most, closely followed by Zurich 70th , Lausanne 67th , and Geneva 64th. One expat from Singapore living in Bern comments: It excels in the Local Language subcategory, for which it takes the gold medal. Dutch cities also do well for expats' ease of living abroad without speaking the local language.

Amsterdam performs the best out of the three surveyed cities for this factor, coming third globally. The German language is really difficult.
