What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Antwerp. They wrote...
"Expats in Antwerp often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Although many people in Antwerp speak English, the majority of the population speaks Dutch, which can make it difficult for expats to communicate with locals. Additionally, the local culture is quite conservative, and expats may find it difficult to adjust to the more traditional values and customs. Finally, the cost of living in Antwerp is quite high, and expats may find it difficult to find affordable housing and other necessities," explained one expat living in Antwerp, Belgium.
