Take a flight above Dutch history and discover the locations where the Dutch caused a lot of commotion during the 400-year Golden Age! When Amsterdam and Rotterdam were still small villages in the Middle Ages, the Hanseatic cities in the east of the Netherlands had already developed into powerful trading centres. About 200 Hanseatic cities worked together within a European Union for four hundred years. Most of the trade went by water with the first cargo ships from the Middle Ages. From Lelystad we fly along a number of the historic Hanseatic cities such as Elburg, Kampen, Zwolle, Hasselt, Harderwijk and Hattem.

Amsterdam helicopter flight

Fly with us over historic defence bastions such as Naarden Vesting, Muiderslot and Pampus. Enjoy wonderful views of the canal network and the historic city centre of Amsterdam. Combined with Amsterdam Central station, where old meets new, the IJ river with its superb modern architecture and Amsterdam Noord which is currently undergoing development. We then fly on to the rugged countryside of the Oostvaardersplassen lakes and Lelystad, where we also circle above the Batavia VOC ship, a fantastic reconstruction of this piece of iconic Dutch history. The airspace above the city of Amsterdam is controlled by Schiphol Air Traffic Control. The result may be that air traffic control adjusts our route and that Amsterdam is at a greater distance than initially expected.
