What should I pack when moving to Rotterdam?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Rotterdam to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Rotterdam, it is important to pack warm clothing, as the weather can be quite cold in the winter months. Rain gear is also essential, as the city experiences a lot of rainfall throughout the year. It is also important to bring comfortable shoes, as the city is quite flat and easy to explore on foot. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a bike, as cycling is a popular form of transportation in Rotterdam. Finally, don't forget to bring a valid passport and any necessary documents for your stay," remarked another expat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

"Converter plugs. Our situation was different as we were posted here through my husband's company, so our moving, housing, etc were easier. We were lucky to meet many people who helped us out. However, now Rotterdam has it's own website which may be useful to viewers/users of this site. See www.yourrotterdam.com. It is a comprehensive guide on how to settle in here - housing, schooling, leisure, medical, procedures and more. They also have a Rotterdam forum," said a member in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
