Almere City Centre (Stedelijk Museum Almere)
Almere's city centre was designed by famous architects and acts as an open-air gallery of bold modern buildings that you can wander around like an outdoor museum.
Almere is the newest city in the Netherlands — and one of the newest in the world — having been built from scratch on reclaimed land that was underwater until the 1970s.
The ground beneath Almere used to be the bottom of a sea called the Zuiderzee, so the entire city is literally built on what was once ocean floor!

Almere hosted the world-famous Floriade horticultural expo in 2022, and the site continues as a green, sustainable neighbourhood full of gardens and eco-friendly ideas.
This lovely nature and recreation area on the edge of Almere has walking trails, a children's farm, and beautiful views over the water of the Markermeer lake.
Almere's oldest neighbourhood has a pretty little harbour full of boats, colourful houses, and waterfront cafés that feel surprisingly cosy for such a young city.
This striking theatre and arts centre is a hub for music, dance, and performance in Almere, and its dramatic architecture makes it a landmark in its own right.
