No darker side? Is the Netherlands the best place to live?

March 24, 2024

The Netherlands has a lot going for it as a place to live – commuting to work by bike, a cafe on every corner and some of the best museums in the world. But not everything is perfect.

Dutch News is carrying out a survey into one of the darker sides of living in the Netherlands – discrimination against foreigners – and we’d like to know your thoughts, in complete confidence of course.

Maybe you’ve been affected by it, or have seen things happen to friends or co-workers. Or perhaps you think the complaints are exaggerated and those affected should put up with it or leave?

So please make a few minutes available to take part in our survey and share your views.
