Quick ride by bicycle from Zandvoort to Haarlem

Start your cycling adventure in the seaside town of Zandvoort, famous for its long, sandy beaches and the thrilling Zandvoort Circuit. While it's mainly known as a beach and motorsport hotspot, it’s also a great starting point for a leisurely ride.

From the breezy shores of Zandvoort, gear up for a smooth 10.66-kilometer cruise toward the charming city of Haarlem. Most of your journey will be on dedicated cycleways, so you can pedal along comfortably without too much hustle and bustle from cars. Keep an eye out for stretches with paving stones and asphalt which will keep the roll smooth for most parts.

As you cycle, enjoy the gentle elevation changes—you'll only ascend about 28 meters, so it’s a stress-free ride—and soak in the sights and smells of the surrounding nature. The majority of the surfaces are well-maintained, with a bit of mixed terrain to make it interesting.

Once you reach Haarlem, you'll be welcomed by its iconic gabled houses, quaint cobblestone streets, and the stunning Grote Kerk. It’s a town brimming with history and full of cozy cafes perfect for a post-ride treat. Enjoy exploring the city, its lovely canals, and perhaps reward yourself with a classic Dutch delicacy. Have a great ride!
