How Netherlands works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Netherlands, Amsterdam leads at 56/100 — cost 19, climate 93, safety 78; warmest-month highs around 16.9°C and coldest-month lows near 3.0°C give you a feel for the seasons. Amsterdam is the pure-budget play at cost 19/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Netherlands before booking anything long-term.
