There is a lot of information online about what to see and do in Flevoland. But sometimes you still like to ask a specific question to an expert or take a physical leaflet to browse through in your hotel room. For that, visit the VVV (tourist info) and other information points in Flevoland.
At De Diagonaal 199 in Almere, you will find a VVV point where you can go for leaflets, bicycle rental and advice from one of the staff members who are very knowledgeable about the city. You can also book a tour of the city with a local guide here and choose from a wide range of local products such as Almere beer, Almere wine, Almere jams, honey, mustard and much more. Nice as a souvenir for those back home.

Also at Hotel Van der Valk Emmeloord, the reception staff knows how to provide you with useful information on what to see and do in the area. And of course they will be happy to hand you a copy of the free tourist map of the Noordoostpolder. This hotel sits on the outskirts of Emmeloord, practically on the A6 motorway, and is therefore ideally accessible by car.
