In bici da Duivendrecht a Diemen

This short and super easy cycling route takes you from Duivendrecht to Diemen, both cozy suburbs just southeast of Amsterdam. You’ll ride just over 2 km, mostly on smooth, dedicated cycleways, so it’s perfect for a relaxed spin or a quick commute. The landscape is flat—like most of the area—so it’s practically effortless, even if you’re on a city bike.

Duivendrecht is a small, well-connected spot, famous for its train station that links up with Amsterdam and Schiphol. On your way to Diemen, you’ll pass through peaceful residential neighborhoods and green patches, avoiding busy roads almost entirely. Diemen itself is a friendly town with a surprising amount of green space and its own piece of Amsterdam history.

Expect mostly paved or concrete surfaces—it’s classic Dutch cycling, after all—with just a few bits where the paving might change up. Great route for anyone wanting an easy spin between two interesting boroughs!
