In bici da Hoofddorp a Amstelveen

This ride takes you from Hoofddorp to Amstelveen, covering just over 18 km—perfect for a leisurely pedal of about an hour. Hoofddorp is a modern, green town just southwest of Amsterdam and is famous for its wide boulevards and proximity to Schiphol Airport.

You’ll head northeast, mostly on dedicated cycle paths (over 90% of the route!), cruising past open fields, canals, and classic Dutch suburban scenery. Expect mostly smooth asphalt under your tires, though a short stretch takes you over some paving stones for that authentic local feel. The route is flat, with only minor elevation changes, so it’s great for all fitness levels.

Your destination, Amstelveen, is popular for its lush parks and close-knit vibe—it’s right next to Amsterdam’s southern border but has a charm of its own with cozy cafés and a laid-back pace. This is an easy, scenic ride, great for anyone wanting to soak up the calm between two friendly Dutch towns. Don’t forget to stop and enjoy the wide-open landscapes along the way!
