"Expats in The Netherlands appreciate the friendly, outgoing and open Dutch people, their relaxed and tolerant attitude, their dedication to environmental sustainability, and their excellent public transportation system. They also enjoy the rich cultural heritage, with its art, music, and architecture, and the vibrant festivals, events and markets that spring up throughout the year.
