With bicycle paths on almost every road, it is really easy to ride a bike.
Good to know
A Dutch expression says “Become big by staying small”. Although the Netherlands is a small country, it has a rich cultural tradition and is today one of the most prosperous countries in the world. The country’s historical ties to other parts of the world have brought foreigners to settle here for decades, bringing their own ideas and cultures. This makes Dutch people commonly open-minded and tolerant. The Netherlands is now home to more than 190 different nationalities.
Le nombre de places en Erasmus+ est limité. L’attribution de la bourse n’est donc pas automatique et le montant versé peut varier. Nous vous invitons toutefois à postuler car des places en échange (hors Erasmus+) peuvent être proposées. Merci de vous référer à la page Erasmus+.
