With InterNations as my network, I have been able to make many friends learn the ins and outs about living in The Hague.
Living in Venlo
Venlo is a large city in the Netherlands, located near the German border and is part of the Limburg province. It is known as being ‘Europe’s Greenest City’ because of its commitment to greener policies and promoting the use of renewable energy sources. The city has plenty to offer in terms of attractions and places to visit and expats living in Venlo will be able to explore sights such as the City Hall, which is built in a red brick style and is one of the main landmarks of the city, or the Museum van Bommel van Dam named after Maarten and Reina van Bommel-van Dam who set out to collect modern art following World War II. The city is also known for its culture, with a number of events being held in the city and expatriates living in Venlo will of course be able to take part in these, including the Vastelaovend carnival and the Zomerparkfeest, held over four days and featuring music, dance, theater and more.
