Airpunk Says: Lelystad’s city center is nothing like the town centers you know from other provinces. Its 1980s and 1990s architecture with some ugly, but also some interesting buildings. Like in Almere, life is only slowly entering into the new structures. The town hall is surely the most...

Airpunk Says: Sailor’s is one of a hand full of restaurants in Bataviastad. As you may guess, they focus on maritime decoration, but its not suffocating like in other places. The menu is dominated by typical dutch snack food such as kroket and almost everything comes with fries. However,...

If you have a real Dutch snack in between your museum and Batavia Stad visits and try to enjoy your "Patat", you will loose some of your food to our feathered beggars.
ATLC Says: An enthusiastic group of volunteers (often archeological students) have built a prehistoric village here. They do tours and tell you all about how they organise camps for school children who have a full week of living like prehistoric man. They all sleep in a house like this...
ATLC Says: Now this is a nice campsite. They also built an oven for breadbaking. The volunteers have been trying to perfect this and only after building the third oven, did they succeed.
egonwegh Says: Town centre: Lely's Column ('De Zuil van Lely'). A tall column - 32 meters! - with Lely's statue on top of it. Its height is very exceptional by Dutch standards for a statue dedicated to just one person. The column was erected in honour of civil engineer C. Lely who played a...
It is amazing that in 30 years, not only new land has been made, but also a modern town like Lelystad.
Even more baffling is that a large part of the polder has been turned into nature parks where...

On 13 February 2005, we visited the Batavia Wharf - "Since 1985 over 200 young people have built an
authentic reconstruction of the VOC-merchantman Batavia from 1628".
Lelystad lies in fact on the bottom of the former Zuiderzee. Nowadays called IJsselmeer.
It is a city of about 70000 people and exist for about 40 years or so.
The dutch created this land out of the...
