Every year\, streets are filled to the brim with Dutchies adopting orange dress\, cheerfully enjoying a biertje or two.  \nREAD MORE | 5 things to do on King’s Day to celebrate the Dutch way URL:https://dutchreview.com/event/kings-day-koningsdag/ LOCATION:Netherlands\, Netherlands ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dutchreview.com/wp-content/uploads/shutterstock_1664774005.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20230425T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20230425T120000 DTSTAMP:20260610T013453 CREATED:20230321T123633Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230321T143234Z UID:115152-1682418600-1682424000@dutchreview.com SUMMARY:Kickstart your home-buying journey with this FREE webinar DESCRIPTION:From finding a house within your budget to navigating complicated Dutch terms and getting a mortgage — the process of buying a house in the Netherlands can be intimidating.

In most towns\, you’ll be able to enjoy the Sinterklaas parade with the man himself roaming the streets together with his helper Zwarte Piet — a figure that has been the site of some controversy in recent years. \n\n\n\nREAD MORE | Sinterklaas for expats: all the Dutch you need to make it through the holiday season \n\n\n\nFeature Image: Depositphotos URL:https://dutchreview.com/event/sinterklaas/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dutchreview.com/wp-content/uploads/Sinterklaas-arrival-on-a-horse.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20221124T171500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20221124T171500 DTSTAMP:20260610T013453 CREATED:20221110T114859Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221110T114859Z UID:107202-1669310100-1669310100@dutchreview.com SUMMARY:Find the answers to all your Dutch mortgage questions at this online event!
