Cycle from Belgium to the Netherlands from the beautiful city of Bruges to Amsterdam.

Starting in the historic centre of Bruges, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000 with a plethora of landmarks, museums and historical sights, the city has a fairytale atmosphere with its cobbled streets and squares, canals on which you can take boat trips past the traditional houses as well as its medieval architecture. Bruges is also world-famous for its lace production.

In the province of Zeeland, the beautiful sandy beaches invite you to sunbathe. In Holland, historic fortified towns provide an incomparable atmosphere and the windmills of the Kinderdijk are a must-see when visiting the region. Your week ends in Amsterdam, the famous metropolis with its canals, museums and many boutiques for shopping fans.

In between, lush green landscapes with grazing cows, extensive forests and lots of water await you. You will also see national parks and picturesque villages as well as impressive buildings and monuments, many of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
