What do I need to know before moving to Amsterdam?

"Amsterdam is a vibrant and diverse city with a lot to offer expats. It is important to research the city and its culture before moving to Amsterdam. Expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is higher than in many other European cities. Additionally, Amsterdam is a very bike-friendly city, so it is important to familiarize yourself with the bike lanes and traffic laws. Expats should also be aware of the language barrier, as Dutch is the official language of the Netherlands. It is recommended to learn some basic Dutch phrases before moving to Amsterdam. Finally, Amsterdam is a very international city, so expats should take the time to explore the city and meet new people," explained one expat living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
