"Culture, elegance and relaxation" are the keywords of this cycling holiday! The museums and historical buildings of Bruges are world famous. But did you know that Belgium has a charming coastline with the most beautiful sandy beaches in Europe? Enjoy the landscapes and villages in the hinterland of the coast.
Whoever visits Bruges notices it immediately: this city has always carefully nurtured and nurtured its architectural and artistic shadows from the past. Take the time to stroll through refreshing parks and quiet cobbled streets. And don't forget to admire the modest folk houses as well as the dignified mansions. Or you can also go shopping in the center of Bruges.

On the way between Bruges and Oostende you will discover, among other things, Lissewege, the best example of a typical village in the hinterland of the coast. The romance and tranquility of this village crossed by a canal will surely seduce you! After Lissewege comes the popular seaside resort of Blankenberge, where you can visit the Sea Life Center. Of course you will also cycle past De Haan, a beautiful village that has well preserved the sphere of the "Belle Epoque" (19th century). After a great tour you will reach Oostende, "Queen of seaside resorts".

It's almost unbelievable how much culture can be discovered in a rural province like West Flanders. You will have the opportunity to admire two castles: the first castle is Castle d'Aertrycke, built in 1869. The other castle is Wijnendaele and has a history of about 8 centuries. Torhout is centuries old, but still lively! Enjoy the typical beer "Thouroutenaere" on a terrace at the market square.
Overnight place: Oostende
Like Oostende and Blankenberge, Nieuwpoort is one of the most popular seaside resorts in Belgium. This small town is situated at the mouth of the "Yser" river, a river that was of great importance during the First World War. Admire the marina and the Yser estuary nature reserve, or just soak up the sun on the large, wide beach. The coziness of the small town of Veurne is almost indescribable. Veurne is known for the annual penitential procession.

On the sixth day you drive to Knokke, the most fashionable village on the Belgian coast. It's another incredibly beautiful ride, including along the dunes.
