Cycling day trip from Sint-Niklaas to Antwerp

This ride takes you from the heart of Sint-Niklaas to the bustling city of Antwerp—a perfect urban-to-urban cycle that covers about 24.5 km. Sint-Niklaas is known for having the largest market square in Belgium, so it’s worth checking out before you set off.

The route is mostly flat and super friendly for all levels, with barely any uphill to worry about (just 26 m of ascent). You’ll be rolling mostly on smooth, paved cycleways (75% of the ride!), so expect relaxed pedaling and little car traffic. About 41% of the route is concrete and 31% asphalt, which makes it a pretty comfy ride.

You’ll glide through quiet roads and a few pedestrian areas, so you can just soak in the scenery. And as you approach Antwerp, get ready for some urban vibes—Antwerp is a cultural hotspot famous for its fashion, diamond district, and impressive cathedral.

All in all, it’s a gentle ride that links two vibrant cities, perfect for a casual day out or a scenic commute.
