Get ready for a classic Belgian adventure! This cycling route takes you from the vibrant heart of Brussels all the way to the fairy-tale city of Bruges—about 128 km of mostly flat riding through the scenic Flemish countryside.

Starting in Brussels, with its grand squares, quirky comic strip murals, and delicious waffles, you’ll head northwest on mostly paved surfaces, making for a smooth and enjoyable ride. Expect to spend most of your journey on dedicated cycleways and quiet rural roads, cruising through picturesque villages and tranquil fields. There’s just the right amount of gentle ascent and descent (nothing too demanding), so you’ll have plenty of energy to take in the scenery or stop for a coffee.

After several hours in the saddle, you’ll arrive in Bruges, where medieval charm awaits—think cobblestone streets, dreamy canals, and endless options for Belgian chocolate. It’s the perfect spot to relax, refuel, and enjoy a well-earned beer. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, this route is a brilliant way to connect two of Belgium’s most iconic cities on two wheels!
