About Almere

Almere is the youngest city in the Netherlands, conveniently located in the heart of the country. It’s home to more than 200,000 residents, making it the eighth biggest city in the Netherlands. Designed as a green city of the future, Almere is the ideal host for Floriade Expo 2022, an international exhibition and horticultural festival that takes place in the Netherlands every 10 years. The theme of the coming expo is Growing Green Cities, reflecting the core values of Almere as a garden city – a diverse environment with a variety of urban hubs of different sizes and types. Here people live close to large areas of nature and greenery, enjoying surroundings close to the water and where public transport and cycling are given priority in terms of the allocation of public space. Which is why Almere and the Floriade are the perfect fit.
