Cycling day trip from Roermond to Maastricht

Ready for a scenic ride through Limburg? This route takes you from Roermond, a lively city famous for its designer outlet and pretty riverside, all the way to the vibrant city of Maastricht, known for its student life and charming old town. The trip is about 58 km long, mostly over smooth paved surfaces—perfect for relaxing and soaking in the countryside.

You’ll cruise along dedicated cycleways for most of the ride (over 60%), passing through gentle Dutch landscapes and small villages. There’s not much climbing involved (just around 83 meters in total ascent), so it’s friendly for all levels. You’ll spot the River Maas, classic farmland, and maybe even some cows along the way.

Maastricht awaits with its medieval streets, terraced cafés, and the impressive St. Servaas Bridge over the Maas. If you fancy some post-ride treats, Maastricht is known for its delicious vlaai (fruit pie). Whether you’re here for culture or just the ride, this route delivers a great day out on two wheels.
