MORE INFO
Arnhem is one of the Netherlands’ underrated long-stay cities. It has strong rail connections, a compact center, good cycling, and direct access to green spaces such as Hoge Veluwe and the Veluwezoom area. It feels calmer and more local than Amsterdam or Utrecht, which makes it attractive for people who want Dutch quality of life without major-city intensity. It is not cheap globally, but it offers strong value inside the Dutch context.
