The Netherlands (or Holland, as it’s commonly known) is arguably the best country in the world for a bicycle tour.
It’s a nation that’s absolutely crazy about the bicycle, with more bikes than people!
As a visiting bike tourist, this means you can benefit from a phenomenally well developed bicycle network, including thousands of dedicated paths and free guarded bike parking in cities.
While you’re here, you can also:
- Brush up on the Dutch master painters. Museums across the country feature paintings by Rembrandt and Vermeer.
- Sun yourself on the beaches of the North Sea. Or simply ride along the dunes on tranquil bike paths.
- Waltz through the tulip fields. Come in mid April or early May for the best display of colour! Read more.
- Fill up on apple cake and pancakes. Traditional Dutch food is hearty and comforting.
We’re so crazy about cycling here, that we created a free eBook with 20 Tips For Bike Touring In The Netherlands.
