About the region

Reclaimed polders stretch toward modern cities built from ancient seabed soil.

Flevoland, the youngest province in the Netherlands, was reclaimed from the Zuiderzee, showcasing innovative land reclamation techniques. Almere, the largest city, features modern architecture and a vibrant cultural scene, while Lelystad, the provincial capital, offers museums like the Batavialand, highlighting the region's maritime history. The area's unique landscapes include the Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve, home to diverse wildlife. Flevoland is also known for its agricultural practices, particularly in tulip cultivation. This province provides an opportunity to explore modern Dutch life alongside historical insights, making it a fascinating destination beyond typical tourist trails.
