Overview

Cycle between two of Europe’s most historically important and beautiful cities, seeing many of the highlights of Holland and Belgium from your saddle. Starting in Amsterdam, with its famous canals and treasure-filled museums you will ride southwards through the picturesque Dutch countryside, cycling along polders and staying in historic towns including Gouda (don’t forget to try the cheese), Dordrecht and Bergen op Zoom. Pedalling into Belgium, you’ll ride through a scenic nature reserve until you reach the charming port city Antwerp, with its striking cathedral and local breweries. Cycle out along various rivers and stop to admire impressive church towers and sample delicious Belgian French fries before you reach the university town of Leuven and the architectural delights and laidback cafes of Brussels which await at the end of the week. Cycling on flat routes that are well signposted, you’ll enjoy easy cycling between hotels.
