Moving to Amsterdam

Living in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is the capital and the most populous city in the Netherlands, and attracts millions of visitors each year. Amsterdam boasts one of the lowest costs of living of the European capitals, and with a rich historic city centre, health work/life balance and cultural diversity, it’s no wonder that people are looking to relocate there. 

Being just 219 square kilometers, Amsterdam is easy to get around and explore. This gives Amsterdam the ultimate ‘small village feeling’, making newcommeres feel familiar with the city within a short space of time. This charm, combined with the cosmopolitan vibe, makes Amsterdam a popular destination for expatriates. 

Amsterdam is a great location for children; offering a great standar of schooling and a wide array of educational facilities. Whether you’re looking for a traditional Durch school or a high-quality international school, there are a plethora of options available to children of all ages. The city is also generally very welcoming to families, and there are plenty of child-friendly cafes and restaurants to enjoy.
