Description

Day 1: Arrival in Alkmaar
Welcome to Alkmaar, the city that welcomes you as a sweet prelude to an unforgettable cycling adventure in the Netherlands. Relax and take advantage of your free time to explore the city famous for its cheese market.

Day 2: Alkmaar – Amsterdam (63 km)
Get ready, your journey begins among varied and fascinating landscapes. You will pedal towards Zaanse Schans, a unique 17th-18th century district, where time seems to have stopped between windmills, bridges, and demonstrations of clog, cheese, and tin production. Then, you will continue towards Amsterdam, the city of romantic canals and countless bridges. With more than 800,000 bicycles, Amsterdam will be all yours to discover. Do not miss a canal cruise for an unforgettable view of the historic houses.

Day 3: Amsterdam – Volendam (35 km)
Today you will ride through the picturesque villages of Durgerdam and Volendam, along the shores of Lake Markermeer. You will arrive in a Catholic heart, among the characteristic stone houses of Volendam, a fishing village that seems to have been drawn without a precise street plan. On the famous "De Dijk," you will find souvenirs and outdoor cafes where you can relax while admiring the harbor.

Day 4: Volendam – Alkmaar (50 km;)
Get ready for a cross-coast journey in the province of North Holland. The route will take you through colorful landscapes, starting from the shores of Lake Markermeer to the flourishing polders of Schermer and Beemster, a World Heritage Site. You will ride through the historic flower fields, particularly scenic between April and May. In Edam, a charming historic village, you will be captivated by its bridges, squares, and monuments from the Golden Age. Don't forget to visit the traditional cheese market.

Day 5: Return Home
After a hearty breakfast, you will say goodbye to this journey filled with cultural and natural discoveries. You'll carry with you the emotions of stunning places that will make you long to return.
