What do I need to know before moving to Rotterdam?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Rotterdam, they said...

"Before moving to Rotterdam, expats should be aware that the city is the second largest in the Netherlands and is known for its modern architecture and vibrant nightlife. Expats should also be aware that the city is very multicultural, with over 170 nationalities represented. Additionally, Rotterdam is a great city for cycling, with many bike paths and bike-friendly roads. Expats should also be aware that the cost of living in Rotterdam is relatively high, but the city offers a wide range of housing options. Finally, expats should be aware that the city is well-connected to the rest of the Netherlands and Europe, with excellent public transportation and easy access to airports," remarked another expat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

"Collect as much information ahead of time about where you are going. Come over for a scout around prior to the move. Rotterdam is a lesser know city for expatriates but they are here and active on forums," said a member in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
