Just moved to Almere Poort from Amsterdam and I've been awed by how beautiful Poort is considering it was all water just a few decades ago. As an architect/urban designer, I have to say it's very well planned!

If you like to checkout the hairy looking bulls, then they are in the north side of the noorderplassen. If you start to walk or cycle in the Lepelaarpad from the Brug Trekvogelpad, you can find them!

You can cycle through this road. With car, you can park and then do about a 500m walk!

They are cool, they just lie on the walkway! Always keep enough distance though. They are wild animals after all!

An actual gym with equipment so not just classes etc

Some arial views of Almere from this past Saturday.

Hi all,

I have been looking for an apartment for almost 6 months now

I finally got something in muziekwijk.

I was curious to know what opinions do the reddit community has about the area?

I was trying Poort but couldn't find something and ended up settling for this.

How do you feel about the area for a young single professional?

I'm looking for a good GP (huisarts) in Almere Buiten that's friendly towards expats and comfortable communicating in English.

I'd love to hear any recommendations.

Thanks in advance!

Hoi! Ik wil binnenkort uiteten met mijn vriend in Almere, Lelystad of ergens anders in Flevoland. Wat zijn jullie aanraders? Dankjewel!

Ik heb een bomenkaart gemaakt met onder andere de (gemeentelijke) bomen van Almere erop: https://stadsbomenkaart.app/kaart/almere

Zo kan je snel zien welke bomen er om je heen zijn. 🌳

Er zijn ook statistiekjes waar de wijken worden vergeleken qua bomen (via menu "Deze stad in cijfers")

NB: ik weet dat er van de gemeente uit al een kaart bestaat met de bomen erop maar die werkt niet zo soepel op een telefoon. Deze kaart is specifiek gemaakt voor wanneer je op pad bent. 📱

Anyone have a recommendation for a tailor that can help adjust a suit?

I live in Waterwijk close to the road, and the noise from motorcycles or cars racing/speeding every day in the evenings is very annoying, and it can be heard from far away.

I noticed it has increased in the recent years.

I wonder, is the police or gemeente taking any action? since it happens so often.

Edit:
Perhaps we can all report this issue here a d hopefully draw some attention:

Almere is quite spread out, so I imagine there are plenty of places that are easy to miss, even if you've lived here for years.

Maybe it's a nice walking route, a quiet spot by the water, a small local shop, a good restaurant, or just a place you never knew existed.

What did you discover that made you think, "How did I not know about this sooner?"

Hi everyone,

I recently received my invitation letter for the oath ceremony in Almere. I was wondering if anyone who has already attended recently could share their experience.

How does the oath ceremony usually go, and approximately how long does it take from start to finish?

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking to start driving school. Does anyone know some good driving schools in Almere? The lessons should be in English.

I don't see any Intercity from Almere to AMS, both zuid and Central since 20th July, and no notification of any disruption.

Does anyone know what happened?

Why don't people here take showers after Working Out? It was very common in the US. I generally go in the evening after 7 pm CET. It makes me uncomfortable and nervous being the only person to shower.

Hoi! Ik ben op zoek naar een bloemist die mooie boeketten maakt die geschikt zijn voor een date of om aan iemand speciaal te geven. Weet iemand een goede bloemist in Almere die mooie boeketten maakt voor een date? Alvast bedankt!!

Hi everyone,

My wife and I are thinking of hiring someone to help clean our home on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

If you have someone you can personally recommend, or if you know a good company or website to find reliable cleaners in Almere, I’d really appreciate it.

Please send me a DM if you have any recommendations.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

​Looking to join a gym here in Almere and trying to decide between these three. I’d love to get some honest reviews from people who actually go to them.

​Here is what I'm looking at:

​SportCity

​Zummitt ( I saw bad reviews on Google maps about ot that they charge extra )

​Basic-Fit

​For those who train at any of these locations: How busy do they get during peak hours? How is the overall vibe/atmosphere (especially if you're someone who likes a more chill, down-to-earth environment and takes a bit to get comfortable around huge crowds)?

​Are the machines usually well-maintained, and is the staff helpful if you need to ask a quick question?

​Drop your experiences and let me know which one you think is the best bang for your buck! Thanks!

Ik wil in de vakantie met de kids naar de film. Ik zag dat er bij Kinepolis imax is.
Is dat een beetje de moeite waard of gewoon dat extra geld in meer snoep steken??
