Cycling day trip from Namur to Brussels

Kick off your cycling adventure in the charming city of Namur, where the Meuse and Sambre rivers meet. Known for its towering citadel and picturesque old town, Namur offers a scenic backdrop as you start your journey toward the bustling capital of Brussels.

The ride stretches for about 121 kilometers and it’s a nice balance of ups and downs, with an ascent of just over 423 meters—nothing too overwhelming. You'll find the majority of the route is laid out on cycleways, with some stretches on quiet roads and access roads, making it a nice and peaceful ride for the most part. While about 39% of this route is asphalt and 31% on concrete, there's a little mystery thrown in with 25% of the surface not quite specified, so be ready for a bit of an adventure!

As you cruise through Belgium, you'll notice a mixture of serene countryside and charming towns, slowly transitioning into the lively streets of Brussels. Once you roll into Brussels, treat yourself to some famous Belgian chocolate or a hearty waffle to celebrate the ride! Don't forget to check out the awe-inspiring Grand Place and take a moment to rest in one of Europe's most vibrant cities. Happy cycling!
