Cycling day trip from Breda to Antwerp

Hop on your bike and get ready for a delightful ride from the charming city of Breda, Netherlands, to the vibrant city of Antwerp, Belgium. This route spans about 62.5 kilometers and is a treat for any cycling enthusiast.

Breda, known for its rich history and lively city center, is the perfect starting point. You'll love wandering its cobblestone streets and catching sights of the impressive Grote Kerk before setting off.

As you pedal southward, most of your journey (72% to be exact) will be on dedicated cycleways, making for a safe and stress-free ride. The terrain is mostly flat, with a gentle ascent of 64 meters in total, so it’s manageable for cyclists of all levels. The scenery is a blend of quaint Dutch landscapes and quiet roads, with the occasional charming village to pass through.

Once you cross the border into Belgium (with hopefully a quick selfie at the marker!), the buzz of Antwerp city life welcomes you. Known as the "Diamond Capital of the World," Antwerp offers plenty to explore, from its historic architecture to stunning museums.

So pack a picnic, enjoy the fresh air, and relish the adventure from one delightful city to another!
