Excursión ciclista de un día de Rotterdam a Hoek van Holland

Get ready for a classic Dutch cycling adventure from the heart of Rotterdam to the sandy shores of Hoek van Holland! This 30 km ride is mostly flat, with just a gentle ascent and descent, making it perfect for most cyclists. You'll roll out from Rotterdam, famous for its striking modern architecture and vibrant harbor scene, and quickly find yourself on silky-smooth cycleways (you’ll be on bike paths almost the entire journey—how Dutch!).

Along the way, you’ll pass through peaceful suburbs, cruise alongside canals, and enjoy lots of greenery. There’s hardly any traffic to worry about: the route sticks almost entirely to designated bike paths and quiet roads. Paving is top-notch too, mostly smooth asphalt with just a touch of classic paving stones for that old-school vibe.

As you approach Hoek van Holland, the fresh sea breeze greets you. This seaside town is the gateway to the North Sea, perfect for a breather on the beach, and a favorite local spot for watching ships drift by. Don’t forget to snap a windmill selfie or grab a stroopwafel at a local café before heading back!
