By bicycle from Rotterdam to 's-Gravenland

This ride takes you from the heart of bustling Rotterdam out to the more peaceful suburb of 's-Gravenland. It’s a relaxed 7 km route—perfect for a leisurely spin or a weekday commute. You’ll roll mostly on smooth, paved surfaces, with well-marked cycleways for most of the journey (hello, Dutch cycling infrastructure!). The ride is almost flat, with just a gentle ascent and descent that you’ll hardly notice.

Starting in Rotterdam, you’re leaving a city famous for its modern architecture and vibrant port life. As you head east, the city slowly gives way to greener, quieter streets. 's-Gravenland welcomes you with its leafy neighborhoods and laid-back atmosphere—quite a contrast to the city’s rush!

If you’re new to biking in the Netherlands, this short hop is a great introduction. Bring a picnic or plan a coffee stop at either end; both spots have plenty to offer. Happy cycling!
