Quick ride by bicycle from Eijsden to Maastricht

This leisurely cycling route takes you from the picturesque border village of Eijsden to the vibrant city of Maastricht—a classic ride through the scenic southern tip of the Netherlands.

You’ll follow mostly smooth, paved cycleways meandering through the countryside and along the river Meuse, with little traffic to worry about. Enjoy views of rolling fields, quaint Dutch homes, and maybe spot some cows watching you pass.

It’s about a 10 km trip, ideal for a laid-back morning or afternoon ride. Grab a coffee in Eijsden before you go, and reward yourself with Limburgse vlaai (pie) in Maastricht—classic Dutch cycling style!
