Amsterdam Cycling Guide
Expect consistently smooth tarmac, usually along a quaint canal, and a deep bike culture. Cyclists, welcome home… just bring your knee warmers.
-
Ronde Hoep
-
Distance 23.6 mi
-
Elevation 508 ft
This is by far the most popular route for cyclists from Amsterdam. It's easy to reach from the city and brings you to the beautiful countryside within fifteen minutes. There are often more cyclists than cars on Ronde Hoep, especially during summer evenings.

-
Rondje Gooimeer, Eemmeer en Loosdrechtse Plassen
-
Distance 79.8 mi
-
Elevation 1,495 ft
A nice cocktail of four Dutch provinces in one ride, you'll follow the beautiful rivers to the south while riding through cute villages. In the woods at Lage Vuursche there will be a nasty hill if you're trying to stay on the big chainring. You head back to Amsterdam via the grasslands alongside the Gooimeer. If you're lucky, you'll be able to ride an easterly tailwind back into town.

-
Amsterdam - Purmerena
-
Distance 31.4 mi
-
Elevation 400 ft
This route goes into the area called Waterland and you'll find out why soon enough. The first part of the route is alongside the former sea dyke and leads all the way to the cute village of Edam. From there it's back to Amsterdam as swiftly as possible.

-
Rondje Hoorn/A7
-
Distance 71.5 mi
-
Elevation 1,138 ft
Perhaps not the most attractive roads to start with, this route brings you as soon as possible to the very nice landscapes of Noord-Holland. You will be constantly riding past dykes and spotting windmills, where there will be lots of room to give some throttle!
-
-
Marker Museum
-
Distance 29.8 mi
-
Elevation 382 ft
The best of Waterland in a short ride, containing the cobbles at Durgerdam, a dyke along the former sea, and the narrow and challenging path around the island of Marken.

-
Beachlife
-
Distance 69.1 mi
-
Elevation 1,758 ft
Riding to the western part of the Amsterdam area can be quite busy, but this route makes sure you avoid all of this and you can fully enjoy the hours in the saddle. How? By riding through the harbour first, climbing Het Kopje, through the dunes to the south, and back along the Amstel-river.
-
-
Rondje Markermeer
-
Distance 105.1 mi
-
Elevation 1,414 ft
The famous, or notorious, Rondje Markermeer with lots of long stretches guarantees an epic ride, with the twisting roads in Noord-Holland, the endless long dyke to Lelystad and the even longer path back to the mainland and Amsterdam. The amount (and direction) of the wind and sun will determine the attractiveness of your ride.
-
-
Het Kopje van Bloemendaal Loop
-
Distance 65.6 mi
-
Elevation 1,812 ft
This route features a relatively large amount of elevation gain for the region, with the hill at Snowplanet Spaarnwoude, the famous Kopje van Bloemendaal, and the waving road through the dunes between Zandvoort and Noordwijk. The final stretch is very fast, alongside the flat and wide roads of De Ringvaart.
-
-
Amsterdam - Woerden
-
Distance 70.6 mi
-
Elevation 1,024 ft
Straight trough the Green Hart alongside little rivers, lakes, and large fields, riders will experience very quiet surroundings and villages. The way back is quite remarkable with a 15 kilometer-long road straight up to the north.
-
-
Rondje Noordwijk
-
Distance 35.8 mi
-
Elevation 1,053 ft
If you're looking for a quick ride from Haarlem, Rondje Noordwijk is the route for you. First through the dunes and back through the fields and woods, or the other way around.
