Cycling day trip from Aalsmeer to Amsterdam

This ride takes you from Aalsmeer, famous for its massive flower auction and the pretty Westeinderplassen lake, straight into the heart of Amsterdam. You’ll cover just over 20 km, mostly on well-paved cycle paths that make for an easy, stress-free journey—typical Dutch cycling at its best! Expect a little bit of gentle climbing (nothing too dramatic, the highest point you’ll hit is only around 11 meters above sea level), with smooth asphalt and the odd stretch of paving stones along the way.

The route is quiet, hugging scenic canals and green spaces, perfect for a relaxed morning or afternoon. As you get closer to Amsterdam, you'll trade rural charm for urban buzz, rolling right into one of Europe’s coolest cities. Amsterdam awaits with its legendary canals, quirky cafes, and world-class museums. Whether you're heading in for work or a day of sightseeing, this ride is a great way to connect two iconic Dutch spots!
