About this activity

This walking tours is one of the standout things to do in Almere, Netherlands. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €20 per person. <p><strong>A quiet city rises where waves once ruled. Wide streets stretch across land that should not exist, and modern homes stand on ground reclaimed from the sea. In Almere, everything feels new… yet beneath it lies one of the boldest dreams ever realized. Cornelis Lely walks beside you, a man out of time, his eyes filled with both pride and unease.</strong> </p><p><br /></p><p>His master plan, the blueprint that transformed water into land, has vanished. Without it, the story of this city feels unfinished, like a miracle with its heart missing. You move through Almere’s open spaces, where wind brushes across the polder and water still lingers at the edges, reminding you of what once was. Bridges, canals, and clean geometric lines hide clues left behind in plain sight. But something doesn’t add up. If the blueprint is gone, who took it… and why? As you follow Lely’s fading vision, you begin to see the fragile balance between nature and ambition, and how easily it could all unravel. Step by step, the city reveals its secrets. This is not just about recovering a plan, but understanding the courage it took to imagine land where there was none. As the final pieces fall into place, you realize you are not just exploring Almere. You are walking on a dream that refused to sink. You came to explore. You stayed to save the story. </p><p><br /></p><h3>What is the Secrets of Almere Exploration Game?</h3><p>It is a self-guided GPS-based city game that always takes place in the city’s historic center.
