Travel tips for the Netherlands

Travelling from Alicante to the Netherlands means adapting to a different climate, customs and pace of life. Here are some practical recommendations to help everything run smoothly from day one:

• Weather and packing: The climate is cooler and wetter than in Spain, even in summer. Bring comfortable clothing, a light waterproof jacket and closed shoes. Layers are key to adjusting to changes in temperature throughout the day.
• Currency and payments: The official currency is the euro (€). Card payments are accepted virtually everywhere, even for small amounts. Still, it’s useful to carry some cash for markets or small purchases.
• Local transport: Getting around the Netherlands is very easy thanks to its excellent network of trains, trams and buses. In cities like Amsterdam, cycling is one of the most popular ways to travel.
• Plugs and voltage: No adaptor is needed if you’re travelling from Spain: plugs are type C or F and the voltage is 230 V.
• Local customs: People are usually straightforward and friendly. Punctuality is highly valued, and respecting public spaces is important, especially when cycling or walking in shared areas.
• Safety and health: It is a safe country with an efficient healthcare system. If you are an EU citizen, you can use your European Health Insurance Card should you need medical assistance.
