    I had a great visit there in 2013. Nearly everyone speaks English, but don’t just assume, ask (in Dutch) if they speak English. Very walkable, with pretty great transit. Lots to see just walking around. Just be a normal person and you’ll be treated fine.

        This happens in a lot of countries. For me I noticed it particularly with young people in Germany, and pretty much anyone in Norway.

        Can make it slightly frustrating when actively trying to learn the language by speaking with people 😅

        I think that’s kinda common in a lot of countries. If you look like you aren’t from there then they will speak in English.
