A great
way to tour around in Holland
Home
/ Travel Guide
Europe as a whole is a great
place for cyclists, and with all that level ground, Holland is just perfect
for pedalling around. When visiting Amsterdam, the number of bicycles
in the streets seems almost endless. The best part is that not only
can you keep fit, but as a tourist you will see so much more from a bicycle
than you would through the windscreen of a rental car.
However, there is more to
cycling than just pedalling around town like a local. As a holidaymaker
you can book some really exciting cycling holidays in Holland for a real
on-the-wheel experience.
You can try the self-guided
tours through all the historic towns of Holland, visiting seven of Holland’s
finest cities and towns in just eight days.
If you prefer the guided
experience, just imagine taking a tour from beautiful Amsterdam, following
all the famous waterways winding through the quaint towns of Holland into
Belgium, ending up in spectacular Bruges, a place of magnificent medieval
architecture.
Along the way, stay on board
a traditional Dutch barge to rest after a day of active touring, passing
17th century windmills and enchanting scenery.
For another idea, you can
take a guided cycling tour across the flat “polder-land” (really easy cycling!)
which is found along the northern shores of Holland. This area of
Holland was reclaimed from the sea, starting way back in the 17th century. |

Along the way you will see
many beautiful windmills and wooden houses, visit the island of Texel where
you will experience beautiful beaches, visit a seal sanctuary and pass
through some truly beautiful villages during your tour.
Using a network of excellent
cycle paths, you will then visit the historic town of Hoom, visit the famous
Edam where that tasty cheese comes from and experience Volendam, where
the harbour is famous for its smoked and salted herrings.
Getting hungry? There
are many traditional Dutch eating houses along the way to appease that
healthy appetite.
When ready to rest that weary
body, you will enjoy a stay on board the Angela Esme barge, with the movement
of the water rocking you to sleep. |
There are so many more great
options to choose from, but all in all, holidays spent cycling around in
Holland in the fresh clean air are a great way to keep fit, healthy and,
of course, see all the great sights of a historic and beautiful country.
