Quick ride by bicycle from Eindhoven to Meerhoven

This easygoing cycle route starts right in the heart of Eindhoven, a lively city known for its tech scene and creative vibe—home to the famous Philips company and cool design spots. You’ll pedal out of downtown, quickly swapping city streets for Eindhoven’s signature smooth cycleways (93% of the route!), making it a breeze even if you’re not a hardcore cyclist.

The ride is pretty much flat, with only the gentlest ups and downs (hardly more than 10 meters of ascent in total), so it’s perfect for a relaxed morning or afternoon spin. You’ll glide past residential neighborhoods, some leafy green patches, and maybe catch a glimpse of the city’s innovative urban planning.

Your ride ends in Meerhoven, a modern suburb west of the city center. Meerhoven is known for its family-friendly layout, lots of parks, and some super-sustainable homes. With nearly all of your route on asphalt or paving stones, it’s a smooth, safe experience—ideal if you’re looking for an easy escape into the quieter side of Eindhoven. Why not grab a coffee at a local spot in Meerhoven before heading back?
