A Cycling Holiday in Belgium
A cycling holiday in Belgium has been a popular choice among cycling enthusiasts for many years. The country offers beautiful nature with unique geographical features. Belgium offers a lot of variety for cyclists. In the north Flanders is known for its flat landscapes, ideal for having fun and beginners. In contrast, the southern region of Wallonia has more hills, with the Ardennes offering challenging climbs and scenic routes, perfect for cyclists who want a little more challenge. The climate of Belgium is very similar to the United Kingdom, as it mostly has mild temperatures.
Belgium, like the Netherlands, pays a lot of attention to cyclists. There are safe bicycle roads with clear signage available, ensuring a pleasant cycling experience. At the border with Germany, Luxembourg, and France, you'll find the Ardennes, an area you definitely must see. While you're exploring, don't miss the opportunity to visit the stunning city of Bruges, which is often referred to as the "Venice of the North." With its mediaeval architecture and picturesque canals, Bruges offers a unique experience on a cycling holiday.

What holiday to pick for your cycling level?
Our indicators for difficulty help you pick the trip best suitable to your skill level. Most of the cycling holidays in Belgium are pretty beginner-friendly, but still have a healthy portion of challenges to keep your trip interesting. When you are looking for more of a challenge, then we would recommend Flanders. This trip has a healthy portion of climbing to reach amazing scenic checkpoints, like the ‘West Flemish Mountains’. Although we would describe this trip as the most difficult in Belgium, it’s still suitable for most cyclists.
During our individual cycling holidays, you travel with your own group and without a guide. Armed with a clear map and route description full of attractions, you determine your own travel pace. During the single centre holidays, you take a day trip every day. The cycling routes on our distance holidays take you from hotel to hotel while luggage transport is arranged for you.
