Amsterdam, 23/03/18 -
I know how much leaving home can be scary. You imagine yourself in another country, another city where you have never been before and you have to live there. You don't know anything about it. Don't worry, here you can find my tips to be correctly settled in Amsterdam.
I will do for you what I did for me: a list. A list is easily understandable, and this is what we are looking for when we don't know the city where we are going to live in.
A quick description of Amsterdam :
Administration:
About registration, if you'll find your apartment/studio... Don't forget to precise the landlord that you really need it. Be careful, a lot of rooms and studios don't offer registration and/or are scams.
The scammers are, unfortunately, spread into Amsterdam and all the Facebook group and some websites (example: CraigList). Never send money or give personal details to someone you don't know. You Always have to visit something before giving any money or information.
Transports / public transports:
Nightlife:
These are the mos famous areas you can go to enjoy a good party.
My favorite places (mostly food places)
Amsterdam is a lovely city where you can live every season, there is always something to do in the city.
Moreover, Amsterdam is not the only beautiful city of the Netherlands, you should go to Rotterdam or another city to discover the country!
