Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Anvers à Gand

Get ready for a pretty relaxed ride between two gems of Flanders! Starting out in Antwerp, famous for its stunning cathedral, vibrant port, and rich diamond history, you’ll roll southwest towards Ghent—a lively university city with medieval charm and tons of canals.

The route is around 57.5 km but it's mostly flat, so you can cruise along without much climbing. You’ll be pedaling mainly on smooth asphalt and concrete surfaces, and over half the journey follows dedicated cycleways—great news for a stress-free ride. Expect some pretty countryside views and occasional stretches through quiet towns, with only a few bits using paving stones to keep things interesting.

You’ll finish up in beautiful Ghent, where you can reward yourself with a view of the Gravensteen castle or a cold local beer on a canal terrace. It’s a perfect half-day adventure for anyone looking to blend culture, scenery, and the best of Belgian cycling infrastructure!
