Quick ride by bicycle from Amstelveen to Aalsmeer

This relaxed ride takes you from Amstelveen to Aalsmeer—two lovely towns just southwest of Amsterdam. Starting in Amstelveen, known for its green spaces and the funky Cobra Museum of Modern Art, you’ll find yourself quickly in open Dutch countryside. The route rolls along mostly dedicated cycle paths, so you can unwind and focus on the scenery rather than traffic.

With less than 12 kilometers to cover and nearly flat terrain (don’t worry, you’ll barely notice the tiny ascents and descents!), this is an easygoing route suitable for all levels. You’ll pass typical Dutch sights: canals, fields, and maybe even a windmill or two if you keep your eyes open.

Your journey ends in Aalsmeer, famous for its flower auction and lovely lakes. It’s a great destination to grab a coffee by the water or check out some local blooms if you have time. Enjoy the ride—this is cycling in the Netherlands at its finest!
