What is the Dutch culture like?

Answer 1

Hi there,

I live in The Netherlands so I can tell you all about it.

In The Netherlands we are very openminded. We don't care if you are gay, bi, or straight. People here are very cocky sometimes.

Foreign people think we smoke weed all day long. That's far from true. It's forbidden here to smoke weed at street. It's only allowed in so called Coffee Shops. A lot of them are in Amsterdam, also known as the gay capital of Europe.

Looking at religion you can say it's a mix. You have Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Atheists. People don't care what your religion is.

Looking at food, we have certain typical Dutch dishes, Boerenkool, Hutspot, Ewrtensoep, but we also have a mixed kitchen. A lot of different dishes are possible.
