Discover “New Amsterdam” Almere: the fastest growing city in the Netherlands. This youngest city in the country has been in existence for less than 50 years and is 5 meters below sea level. 

A tour of history, present and future: learn how the city came to be, how we now keep dry feet, view architecture and hear more about the plans for Hortus, the new residential development on the former Floriade site, among other things. In 2022, Almere hosted the Floriade EXPO, with the theme “Growing Green Cities”: how can we green our cities?

A fun tour for young and old. Every Sunday morning from late May through late September at 11:00 am. Along the way on the cruise you will hear the real story behind the young city of Almere including:

• The origin of our city on the seabed. How do we keep it dry?
• Our special skyline and architecture (the Manhattan of the Polder).
• The origin of the Weerwater and what does this have to do with the placenta?
