Three Top European Cycling Destinations
If you prefer an active holiday over lounging on a sun kissed beach, Europe offers a variety of cycling holiday destinations that suit adventurous cyclists, romantic couples and families. Embarking on a cycling holiday has many benefits. Not only does it keep you fit and healthy whilst on holiday (often we gain a few pounds on holiday), but a cycling holiday is also an eco-friendly way to travel. Furthermore, a cycling holiday often allows you to view landscapes and landmarks from a unique perspective. If you’re considering a cycling holiday, here’s a list of three top cycling destinations in Europe.
Bike Adventure, Malta by Aldozb
Malta Cycling Holiday
Malta is better known for its azure oceans and blonde beaches than its cycling tracks. However, alongside the coast and more inland, tourists are spoilt for choice with a selection of intimate cycling trails. Malta’s sister island of Gozo also offers a unique cycling holiday for couples. Because it is a small island, only 7km by 12km, the entire area can be explored by bicycle in a single day. Gozo has three hills inland, which provide a spectacular view of the entire island and the blue waters beyond. A circular coastal route is only 25km long, and will take you and your partner past seaside villages, cliff tops and ancient temples. For a romantic cycling holiday, Malta will not fail to reward.
Majorca Cycling Holiday
The island of Majorca has become a well known cycling holiday destination over the past few years, in addition to being the picture perfect bucket and spade beach holiday for the entire family. Its reputation recently received a massive boost when Team Great Britain used the north of Majorca as a winter training site. Majorca as a European cycling holiday destination has something for the entire family. The Tramuntana Mountains boast trails that are ideal for amateurs and enthusiasts alike. North eastern Majorca is often considered to be the best region for a cycling holiday. The terrain is largely flat and is also well sign posted, making trails both accessible and safe to use. Bicycle shops are dotted all over the island.
Amsterdam Cycling Holiday
For a more urban cycling holiday, you simply cannot go wrong with Amsterdam. The Dutch capital is well known for its overzealous cyclists, who along with the pedestrians rule the streets. Amsterdam is small compared to most small cities, meaning that attractions are easily accessible. Try cycle south west of the main tourist area to access the larger museums and parks by bicycle. If you’re searching for a cultural infusion and a cycling holiday in one, Amsterdam is your number one spot.
