Flevoland

Flevoland is a testament to Dutch ingenuity, emerging from the IJsselmeer as the country’s newest province. Known for its modern cities and expansive polder landscapes, it's a unique blend of nature, culture, and innovation.

Flevoland, located in the heart of the Netherlands, is bordered by the IJsselmeer to the west and north, and surrounded by the provinces of North Holland, Friesland, Overijssel, and Gelderland. The major cities include Almere and Lelystad, both of which offer a mix of urban life and natural beauty. Key attractions include the Oostvaardersplassen, a nature reserve ideal for bird watching and nature walks, and the Bataviawerf, where history enthusiasts can explore the replica of the 17th-century ship Batavia. The region is also famed for its flower festivals in spring, turning the landscape into a vibrant patchwork of colors. Nature lovers will appreciate the vast expanses of reclaimed land, offering endless opportunities for cycling and hiking. The best time to visit is from April to October when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Flevoland is easily accessible by train, bus, and car from major Dutch cities, with well-developed public transportation within the region.
