Cycling day trip from Duivendrecht to Breukelen

This ride takes you from the bustling outskirts of Amsterdam, starting in Duivendrecht, and leads you about 25 kilometers south to the charming town of Breukelen. Duivendrecht is well-known as a small but busy railway hub just outside Amsterdam, while Breukelen is famous for lending its name to Brooklyn in New York!

You'll cruise mostly along smooth, paved cycleways (a classic Dutch cycling experience), with lovely, open countryside views as you travel through the green heart of Holland. The route is very flat, so it’s perfect for a relaxed pace—no big hills to worry about.

Along the way, keep an eye out for tranquil canals, and if you’re lucky, some grazing cows. You’ll finish in Breukelen, a picturesque village on the River Vecht, with historic buildings and plenty of cozy cafés for a well-earned break. This is an ideal ride for anyone wanting to escape the city and soak in genuine Dutch landscapes!
