Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Gandawa do Sint-Martens-Latem

Looking for a chill ride out of the city? This route takes you from the heart of Ghent—famous for its medieval architecture, canals, and vibrant student life—down to the leafy, art-loving community of Sint-Martens-Latem. It’s just under 10.5 km, so perfect for a relaxed pedal (allow a little under an hour).

Most of the ride cruises along quiet roads and some dedicated cycleways—expect plenty of that classic Belgian asphalt, along with the occasional stretch of paving stones or concrete. There’s barely any climb, so it’s easy-going all the way, and you’ll gradually swap city streets for peaceful countryside views as you approach Latem.

Sint-Martens-Latem is known for attracting artists and its pretty river scenes along the Lys. Wrap up your ride with a riverside drink or explore some local galleries before heading back to Ghent or exploring further. It's a fantastic mini-adventure for beginners or anyone just looking to escape the city hustle for a spell!
