By bicycle from The Hague to Delft

Hop on your bike in The Hague, the political heart of the Netherlands, and cruise south toward the historic city of Delft. This route is super accessible—mostly paved and almost entirely on dedicated cycleways, so it’s perfect for a relaxed ride. You’ll cover around 12 kilometers with barely any hills (as you’d expect in Holland), passing through green parks, quiet residential areas, and charming Dutch countryside along the way.

It’s a great mini-adventure between two iconic cities. The Hague is famous for its royal palaces and the seat of the Dutch government, while Delft is known worldwide for its blue pottery and as the birthplace of painter Johannes Vermeer. The ride wraps up in the heart of Delft, where the canals and old city vibe make for a perfect post-ride coffee. It’s a lovely way to experience the everyday Dutch cycling culture!
