Shop until you drop: Greatest Outlet Mall in the Netherlands

Beside cheap Dutch quality products you find the largest international collection of outlet stores in the Netherlands in Bataviastad. This Outlet Mall is well known all over Holland because of the huge discounts: up to 70%. This Outlet Mall is in the city of Lelystad: 40 km from Amsterdam on the banks of the biggest lake of Holland: the IJsselmeer. I heard friends talk a lot about this collection of outlet stores. So recently I went there. I could not believe my eyes to see so many brands collected in a special outlet town. We did some serious shopping and came back home with Asics, Jeans and kitchen equipment.

This port, one of the many ports of Lelystad, is just a short walk from the Outlet Mall.  There on the shore of the IJsselmeer, lies the VOC ship Batavia. Moored at a quay alomost 30 feet below sea level. Just follow the dike and climb on board an authentic rebuild vessel originally sailing for the Dutch East India Company (VOC). Actually the Batavia perished on its maiden Voyage on 4 June 1629. Now the Batavia is a part of the Museum Batavialand. A surprising museum that has a lot to affer to offer to all ages.
