Do you like cycling? Check out this beginner route through one of the most cycling-friendly countries in the world! This 10-day itinerary takes you past some of the prettiest towns in the Netherlands, as well as multiple nature areas.
The route can be adapted in terms of length and level of difficulty. Most paths are paved and therefore suitable for any type of bike. I've included a place for lunch, dinner and to spend the night at every stop along the route.
You can also choose to do part of the route. Most places can be easily reached by train (bikes are allowed on the train during off-peak times). If you prefer a fully personalised itinerary for a cycle trip through the Netherlands, please reach out!

Oh, we're just getting started!
Now that I have a travel buddy, my wanderlust has been awakened like never before. I didn't do all my travel with her, but with her finding cheap flights, I finally got to go places I never thought I'd get to and they were just so much more accessible.
The vast majority of 2018 was spent doing weekend trips, which turned out to be our "thing". Don't let anyone tell you you need to spend more than a week traveling, even in Europe!

Discover the fascinating architecture of Rotterdam with this detailed 26-site guide!
The heavy bombing of Rotterdam during World War 2 made way for revisioning of the face of the city. The result is a collection of buildings and transportation routes that make the city a large scale, ever-developing, open air museum.
