Quick ride by bicycle from Rijswijk to Delft

This short, easy ride takes you from Rijswijk to the charming city of Delft – two historic neighbors in the heart of South Holland. Covering just over 6 km, the route is almost entirely on smooth asphalt cycleways, so you can enjoy a stress-free spin without traffic bothers. Rijswijk, known for its leafy parks and canals, quickly gives way to more open spaces as you ride south.

You'll glide into Delft, a city famous for its blue pottery (Delftware), picturesque canals, and its connection to the artist Johannes Vermeer. There’s hardly any ascent or descent, making this route perfect even for a relaxing weekend ride or quick commute. Plus, since you’ll spend nearly all your time on dedicated bike paths, it’s ideal for both beginners and families.

Once in Delft, don’t miss the chance to stroll the old town, grab a coffee on the Markt, and soak up some classic Dutch vibes.
