Across the Floriade site is the Geniedijk |
Across the Floriade site is the Geniedijk, part of the [[Defence Line of Amsterdam]], while the "Lake Side" was located in the Haarlemmermeer Woods. From the artificial mountain, visitors had a substantial view of the area. The [[Zuidtangent]] was opened around the same time as the Floriade, with temporary additional stops opened along the north and south entrances to the festival. The north stop is still occasionally used during carnivals held on the site of the Floriade. The 2002 Floriade was also the site of the [[Spike and Suzy]] album, ''The Bright Floriade''. |
