Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Amsterdam do Zaandam

This ride takes you from the vibrant heart of Amsterdam to the charming town of Zaandam, a journey of just over 24 km—perfect for a leisurely half-day bike trip. You’ll mostly cruise along well-paved cycleways, so it’s smooth pedaling almost the whole way, with just a few stretches of classic Dutch paving stones.

Starting out in Amsterdam, expect iconic canals and lively city streets. As you push north, the city scenery fades into the polder landscape: open skies, serene waterways, and those famous Dutch windmills coming into view. The route is nearly flat (this is the Netherlands, after all!), with only minimal ups and downs, so it’s beginner-friendly.

Your finish line, Zaandam, is known for its quirky, stacked green houses and the Zaanse Schans open-air museum—a must-stop if you love historic windmills and old Dutch crafts. All in all, this ride is a breezy way to experience two of North Holland’s gems, linked by a stress-free cycling route. Don’t forget a coffee break along the way!
