Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Gand à Bruxelles

This ride takes you from the medieval charm of Ghent all the way to the vibrant heart of Brussels, covering almost 80 km through the scenic Belgian countryside. You’ll roll out from Ghent, home to canals, castle views, and some legendary Belgian fries, following mostly smooth paved and asphalt paths—perfect for a steady cruise.

The route is cyclist-friendly, with a solid chunk on dedicated cycleways and plenty of quiet back roads. Along the way, you’ll pass sleepy villages and lush farmlands, catching glimpses of Belgium beyond its cities. There’s a modest amount of climbing, nothing too extreme, so it’s great for riders with a bit of stamina.

As you approach Brussels, you’ll feel the city’s energy building. Brussels is famous for its striking Grand Place, mouthwatering waffles, and rich history as the EU’s de facto capital. Whether you end your ride with a Belgian beer or a stroll around the city center, you’re in for a treat at both ends of this classic Flanders journey.
