Almere

Quick fact

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.

Fun fact

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!
