Dutch News in English

What's going on in the Netherlands today, in English. NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: Dutch News in English is independent. It does not represent the Dutch government, any municipality or any government agency, and it is not affiliated with them. Official sources are linked below. NEWS Dutch news in English from DutchNews.nl, NL Times and publishers across the web, by topic: politics, the economy, housing, immigration and expat rules, travel and transport, sport, education, tech and the royals. When several outlets carry the same story, it shows once. Follow your city, from Amsterdam and Rotterdam to Groningen and Maastricht, and the topics you care about, with a notification at most once a day for each, and never at night in the Netherlands. TODAY For your city: will it rain in the next two hours, and when it stops; the weather today and tomorrow; any KNMI weather warning for your province; train disruptions across the country; and what the euro is worth in your home currency. If you live abroad, it also shows the time in the Netherlands. THE EXPAT CALENDAR Every public holiday, with what's open and whether most people have the day off; school holidays for your region; the clock changes; and the money and paperwork dates newcomers miss: the income tax return, holiday allowance, benefit claims, and the deadline to switch health insurer. Get a reminder the evening before the ones you choose. DUTCH EXPLAINED Tweede Kamer, toeslagen, BSN, WOZ, demissionair: when a headline uses a Dutch term, tap it for a plain-English explanation. Or browse 150 of them, from politics and taxes to housing and health care. Works offline. A DUTCH WORD A DAY A word or phrase each day, with an example sentence and what it really means, from gezellig to "het regent pijpenstelen". Get it each morning if you like.
