Accessibility & location

Lelystad is strategically located in the heart of the Netherlands and offers direct access to all major transportation modes: road, water, rail and air. The city is easily accessible via the A6 and is just 40 minutes from Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport. And in the same travel time you can be in cities such as Utrecht and Zwolle.

Moreover, Lelystad is part of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area (MRA), with all the advantages of proximity and accessibility, without the constraints of scarce space.

• Rail: good connection to regional rail lines, ideal for personnel and logistics connections.
• Air: proximity to Lelystad Airport, with Lelystad Airport Businesspark as a complementary logistics area.
