Good to Know
- Despite the large expat community, expats sometimes report difficulty integrating into Dutch culture and may stay together within the expat community rather than expanding to get to know local Dutch people.
- English is widely spoken, making daily life much easier than in many other European cities.
- Many coworking spaces host networking events, happy hours, and workshops, allowing you to connect with professionals in tech, design, finance, and more.
- Coliving spaces allow you to stick to a routine and meet like-minded people from around the world.
