Tour of Lelystad and Batavialand

Your route starts with a cup of coffee at Apollo Hotel Lelystad City Center . You can also go here by train, the station is a five-minute walk away! From the hotel you can take a nice walk through Lelystad, the city that is of course named after the founder of the Zuiderzee Works: Cornelis Lely. In Museum Batavialand you can go on a journey of discovery through history, with the theme of life on the border between land and water. Water as a bitter enemy, but also as a source of trade and prosperity. Here you will learn everything about the reclamation and dyke construction, but also about the voyages of discovery, overseas trade and the specialist knowledge about water that the Netherlands is known for. Of course you will also encounter Cornelis Lely here!
