Jonzy's catalog estimates roughly $2,560/month all-in living costs in Amsterdam (about $1,600/mo for a mid-market one-bedroom), with safety scored 82/100, internet 88/100, and visa difficulty rated "Moderate". Bike or be hit by one: Cycling isn't a hobby, it's the city's circulatory system. Buy a used omafiets for €100, learn the hand signals, and stay out of the bike lane on foot; Dutch cyclists won't slow down for tourists. Always lock with two locks. 30% ruling: apply day one: Skilled migrants get 30% of their salary tax-free for up to 5 years (now tapering to 30/20/10). Apply through your employer within 4 months of arrival or lose months of benefit. It's the single most valuable Dutch tax break. For neighbourhood detail, cost breakdowns, and visa paths, see the full Amsterdam city guide.

De Pijp, Oost or Noord, not Centrum: The canal ring is for tourists and Airbnb hosts. De Pijp is the trendy market quarter (Albert Cuyp); Oost is multicultural and central; Noord is the post-industrial creative zone, with a free ferry from Centraal.
