Community: De Bilt is a big village east of the city of Utrecht. Although itself is not very interesting, the nature around the village offers a lot of recreational opportunities. In the nearby town of Utrecht you can find lots of pubs, theatres, cinemas, musea and shops as well as the central railway station from where it is very easy to reach other major cities in Holland (for example: Amsterdam is 20 minutes by train). There is a mix of ethnic communities.
