How much does it cost to live in Ámsterdam?

Between €450- €2, 000 depending on where and what you want

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Ámsterdam? Is there any advice you can give?

Very difficult due to the amount of students needing rooms as well, and the level of scammers in the area. I would suggest waiting till you have somewhere to stay already (hostel, hotel, friends place) before searching. Also, be alert of con-artists trying to get money before you see the room, or don't even let you view.

Do a lot of research into the best areas and do price comparisons.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

Lots of steak houses... YUM.

There is a slight variety of food types, due to the diversity of culture to cater for.

It is ok... but quite expensive.

I am used to clubbing in the UK, so it is very different for a Brit, but it is ok for chilling and chatting outside.
