Each culture offers different bonuses.

The answer to that question isn't easy. The choice of culture in Bannerlord should be made based on your play style, but if you are a beginner we recommend the Sturgian culture. Their primary bonus is the reduced cost of recruiting and upgrading infantry units. Having no experience with the game, infantry should be the backbone of your army.

It is the easiest type of units to manage. Unlike ranged units, you don't have to think about proper positioning during a battle - you can simply send infantry to charge at the enemy. Also, compared to cavalry, infantry is cheaper to maintain and upgrade - training cavalry units requires horses at the appropriate level in your inventory.
