Weekly

A focused newsletter on Amsterdam, in English, for internationals in the city

What an issue holds

Once a week: housing and rent rules, the council's decisions, transport changes and the practical rules that affect internationals living in Amsterdam. For a resident who does not read Dutch fluently, written plainly, without the tourist voice.

What it leaves out

Not general Netherlands national politics unless it directly changes something in Amsterdam, not tourist listicles and "best of" guides, not real-estate agent marketing dressed as news, not crime coverage with no follow-up or civic relevance.

Where the news comes from

IAmsterdam, the city's own portal, DutchNews, IamExpat, NL Times, AT5, the local broadcaster.

Nobody gets this one yet. It starts when you do.
