WE LOVEDedicated Cycle Lanes and Pathways
The Netherlands is the perfect country to explore by bike. You will enjoy traffic free riding on the vast network of cycle lanes, paths and bridleways. The whole network is extremely well sign posted so it's the perfect place to enjoy a family cycling holiday, safe in the knowledge that you will very rarely be on any roads with cars.
WE LOVETulips & Flower Fields
You will ride through typically Dutch countryside where wild flowers grow in the meadows and where you will also find rows and rows of commercially grown tulips, sunflowers and heather.

Day 3Cycling from Zoetermeer to Noordwijk aan Zee

Today, you will head towards the coast, cycling through Wassenaar, the town where the King and Queen live. If you have children with you and they like rollercoasters, waterslides and playgrounds enjoy a stop off at the amusement park Duinrel. Once you arrive in Scheveningen relax by the coast and enjoy the sea, beach, sand dunes and woods. Stay out to see the sunset over the sea in Noordwijk aan Zee.

Total distance31km
Day 4Experience the Tulip Fields

The infamous Bulb and Dune region surrounds Noordwijk aan Zee, so its best to come in springtime when the fields are exploding with colour. Keukenof flower park is worth a visit with its incredible flower displays. Once you’ve seen the flowers, take a trip to the Space Expo to learn about astronauts, rockets, planets, perfect for kids. If you are in need of some relaxation after the tulip fields, simply head back to the beach.

Day 5Cycling from Noordwijk aan Zee to Zoetermeer

During this picturesque route back to Zoetermeer you will cycle past Katwijk, Leiden and Voorschoten. Leiden is a historical town, bursting with canals and museums. We recommend visiting Naturalis (Natural History Museum) alternatively, Corpus – The Journey Through the Human Body will keep any children amused. There are also botanical gardens to visit and museums such as The Natural Museum of Antiques and The National Museum of Ethnology.

Total distance32km

What to Expect

It’s not called the lowlands for nothing with half the country being less than a metre above sea level. You can be assured of almost entirely flat riding from place to place and the experience of crossing the Dutch polders, land reclaimed from the sea and which help provide the Netherlands with such fertile land.
