Gita in bici di un giorno da Rotterdam a Anversa

Set off from the modern and vibrant city of Rotterdam, famous for its striking architecture and bustling port—Europe’s largest—and head south towards the stylish Belgian city of Antwerp. This route stretches just over 110 km, perfect for a long, memorable day in the saddle. You’ll mostly cruise along smooth cycleways (about 70% of the route) and enjoy quiet roads, making for a relaxed ride with minimal traffic stress.

The terrain is refreshingly flat (max altitude just over 26 meters!), and you’ll take in classic Dutch and Flemish landscapes—think wide rivers, canals, peaceful farmland, and charming villages. Over half the ride is on asphalt, so it’s easy rolling all the way (though pack for a few different surfaces, with occasional concrete or paving stones thrown in).

When you roll into Antwerp, you’ll be greeted by its stunning medieval center, buzzing squares, and the impressive Cathedral of Our Lady. Take some time to try local specialties like Belgian waffles or fries before ending your adventure. This cross-border ride is a fantastic way to link two exciting cities while soaking up the scenery between them!
