For many who come to do business in Amsterdam, the city itself is an added attraction. Amsterdam is the ultimate 'small big city' and combines all the advantages of a cosmopolitan capital with a compact, easy-to-navigate size. That means less time spent commuting, and more time enjoying what the city has to offer.
With its blend of historical beauty, upbeat new districts, cultural attractions, and top-class modern business facilities, Amsterdam offers an unrivalled quality of life for expats. The cost of living is relatively low for a European capital, and the healthy work-life balance is another plus factor. Once they come here to work, many expats find it hard to leave.
