The LF long-distance cycle routes make navigation easy, guiding you through cities, countryside, and coastal landscapes. Cycle along Amsterdam's canals, explore the windmill-dotted landscapes of Kinderdijk (a UNESCO site!), or cruise past Gouda's cheese markets on our bike tours in Holland.

Whether in bustling cities or tranquil polders, Holland offers a unique cycling experience.
Holland enjoys a mild maritime climate, making it a fantastic cycling holiday destination year-round. Spring (March-May) is a highlight for cycling through tulip fields with pleasant temperatures (10-15°C). Summer (June-August) is warm (18-22°C), while autumn (September-November) offers crisp air and golden landscapes for enjoyable bike tours.
Winters are cool with occasional frost. The terrain is predominantly flat, with well-maintained cycle paths throughout cities, countryside, and the coast, ideal for relaxed Holland cycling. While the famous polders and dikes ensure easy pedalling, wind can sometimes be a factor, especially near the North Sea. However, scenic rest stops and cosy cafés serving coffee and stroopwafels are always nearby on our cycling holidays in the Netherlands.
Pedal through Keukenhof's flower fields, ride alongside Kinderdijk's windmills, or cycle the famous LF7 Oeverland Route on our Holland bike tours. Discover historic cities and tranquil countryside – our cycling holidays in Holland showcase the best of this bike-friendly nation.
“In the Netherlands, there are more bicycles than people! With over 23 million bikes for a population of around 17 million, the Dutch ride an average of 1,000 km per year per person.”
