Lelystad - Transport

Transport

Lelystad has good infrastructure. Lelystad can be reached by air, water, and land.

  • Air: Lelystad business airport is a small satellite of the national airport Schiphol. Although no regular flights between Schiphol and Lelystad Airport exist.
  • Water: Lelystad has its own inland port, several marinas and canals that also help to manage the water levels in the polder. One of these lakes is called Zuigerplas, which means "Sucker-lake": it is so named because it is in a hollow that was made by a suction dredger taking sand from the wrong place; near it is a wood called Zuigerplasbos.
  • Rail: Lelystad Centrum railway station connects the city with Almere and Amsterdam. The Hanzelijn is an extension of this line towards Dronten, Kampen and Zwolle.
  • Motorway: on the eastern side of Lelystad runs the A6 motorway from Amsterdam to the North. Through Lelystad the west-to-east N302 runs from Hoorn to Kootwijk.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:

    “One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
