The Green Heart of Holland - 5 days

Your trip begins with your arrival in Utrecht, a historical and lively city.

The typical flemish architecture and the canals will remind you of Amsterdam, but the much more relaxed atmosphere makes this an ideal place to begin your trip. Do not miss a visit to the medieval city centre, around the dome tower. We suggest you have a walk along the Oudegracht and Nieuwegracht canals, visiting the "Speelklok" musical museum, and quaint, original cafès like Cafè Oliver, inside an old church.  

Your cycling trip starts with a route along the Vecht river, to reach Amsterdam. You will cross an area puntcuated by the elegant villas build by the wealthy merchants of the 17th Century. ONce you get to Amsterdam, get lost between its 165 canals, 1281 bridges... and 600.000 bicycles!  

Its endless offer of arts, culture, fun and nightlife will, without any doubt, satisfy every kind of traveller. Would you like to see the city from a privileged position? Why not crossing the canals with a boat trip?

Today's route is immersed in green: you will also have the chance to encounter some small characteristic villages along the way. The destination, Gouda, is well worth a visit for its town hall, the Weight House, the the stained glasses of St John's church, and the canals.

If you have a sweet tooth, you should definitely try the traditional Syrup Waffels, or the typical Gouda Cheese (the famous cheese market is held every thursday morning). 

Green, and its refletcion on water, dominate todays' cycle. Along the way you will meet polders, woods, lakes, parks... Getting back to the starting point, you will be able to see the Utrecht attarcations that you haven't yet been able to visit: for instance, the museum district (Museum Quarter).  

Our services end after breakfast, unless you have booked extra nights.

Have a safe trip back home!
