More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Wide boulevards, reflective canals and modern squares become the stage as you tap open the Loquiz app and step into a murder mystery in Almere. Your device hands you the first clue; the city answers with glass-fronted office blocks, a quiet marina and the low hum of bicycles. Streets that look ordinary begin to suggest motives, and a public sculpture or a canal-side bench can hold the next piece of the puzzle.
