A relaxed, mostly car-free spin from The Hague to Leiden, about 22.3 km. Roll out from the city of government and the Peace Palace, then pick up the path along the Vliet canal through Voorburg and Leidschendam. Skirt the Vlietland lakes, cruise past Voorschoten, and follow the water into Leiden’s historic center.
The riding is easy: mostly dedicated cycleways (around 86%) and smooth paving, with just a short stretch of gravel. Elevation is barely noticeable (max ~14 m; roughly 45 m total ascent), making it friendly for any bike.
Nice pauses: coffee by the lock in Leidschendam, a quick dip or picnic at Vlietland, or a detour to the De Valk windmill museum as you enter Leiden. Fun facts: The Hague hosts the Dutch government and the International Court of Justice; Leiden boasts the country’s oldest university (1575) and is Rembrandt’s birthplace.
Tip: coastal winds can be brisk—bring a light layer and enjoy the canal views.
