A Guide to Working Abroad in Western Europe

Best Countries for Expats

Though geographically fairly small, Western Europe is home to a great diversity of languages, countries, and cultures. From the Italian Alps to the streets of London, there is much to be explored in Western Europe.

Western Europe is typically thought of as the area west of Germany on the European continent. It is a region that was able to grow independently of Soviet influence during the latter half of the twentieth century, meaning that its economy today is significantly more developed than Eastern Europe’s. Depending on the specific boundaries you draw, there are around 20 countries commonly thought of as “Western European.”

Some of the most popular destinations for jobs abroad include France, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Smaller European countries, such as the Netherlands and Switzerland are also very globally connected and offer good employment opportunities for international workers.

Within these countries, and many more, there are many unique cities where you can direct your search for work. It might be tempting to dive headfirst into big name cities, such as Paris or London, but give some serious thought to Western Europe’s smaller cities as well. Smaller cities can often offer a more authentic and culturally immersive experience when living and working abroad.
