This cheap doner kebab restaurant cooks dishes common in doner restaurants in the Netherlands, such as doner sandwiches, lahmacun and kapsalon. The cashiers may not speak English, however.
Snackbar.
A tired 1970s hotel in the city centre, overlooking the moderately depressing Agora
While referred to as a B&B, de Valkenhorst offers high-standard hotel-like accommodation along with a number of leisure facilities. It is situated out of town, in the new development of Flevopoort 5.
The restaurant overlooking the Oostvaardersplassen offers inexpensive rooms for nature lovers wishing to spend some time there.
A guesthouse in a green area outside of the city and close to the Batavia-haven.
More of a guesthouse than a hotel situated in a countryside-style building outside of Lelystad-haven (Lelystad's OTHER marina)
This hotel is within walking distance of the airport buildings and the Aviodrome, but the remote location may be of little use to you unless you arrive by your own plane. Fit-outs and furnishings are rather basic.
Has a wide range of huts, pods, etc. as well as space for tents, campingcars and caravans.
A large outlet shopping center, built in the Lelystad harbour and styled to resemble an old seaside village.
The expansive Palazzo furniture and home improvement shopping centre has as little to do with the Italian Palazzos as it has with Leslie Nielsen's Enrico Palazzo, but it can come in handy if you decide to move in to Lelystad for a longer time
By bus
There are several inter-regional bus lines that stop at Lelystad Centrum:
By car
Lelystad can most easily be reached by the A6 running across Flevoland and embracing the city as its ringroad.
By bike
From Almere, seasoned bikers can take one of the scenic routes to Lelystad along the Oostvaardersplassen.
By plane
By bus
There are 10 local bus lines (numbered from 1 to 11, but note that there is no line 4 anymore) that all go through the Lelystad Centrum bus hub under the railway station.
By bike
Bike paths are well-designed, convenient and excellently marked.
On foot
While the city centre is very compact and easily navigable on foot, most of the attractions are spread out to the outskirts of the city. Getting there on foot would be a challenge.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
