The city of Almere, located in the province of Flevoland, is one of the youngest and most modern in the Netherlands. Founded in 1976 on land reclaimed from the sea, Almere has become a center for sports and outdoor activities, thanks to its natural environment and urban infrastructure. In this article, we present five sports that are practiced in the city of Almere and that you can enjoy if you visit.

1. Surfing:

Believe it or not, yes, Almere has several artificial lakes that offer ideal conditions for surfing, both for beginners and experts.

You can also surf at Lake Markermeer, Lake Gooimeer or Lake Weerwater, where the city center of Almere is located.
