Hop on your bike for a classic Belgian ride from Ostend to Bruges! Starting at the lively seaside resort of Ostend—famed for its wide beaches and relaxed vibe—you’ll head inland over about 23.5 km of mostly flat, easy-going roads.
The route is delightfully smooth: over 90% of the way is paved, with a sweet mix of quiet roads, cycle paths, and peaceful trails. You’ll barely notice any hills (ascent tops out around 21 meters), making it perfect for all skill levels. Along the way, you’ll pedal past typical Flemish villages and maybe spot a windmill or two among the fields.
Your destination, Bruges, is a UNESCO World Heritage city, renowned for its medieval architecture, winding canals, and irresistible chocolate shops. Park your bike and wander into the old town for a taste of Belgian history—and maybe a waffle or two.
It’s a scenic, gentle escape from coastline to fairytale city. Enjoy the ride!
