In brief
The best bike tours to discover Europe
Every corner of Europe has something unique to offer. We’re sure you’ll enjoy the easy-to-ride routes of each country and region, as they all have their own network of official bike paths. You can cover great distances with little effort, ride through less-traveled areas, stop whenever you like, and connect with locals and fellow cyclists. Needless to say, the ride gets a whole lot easier if everything’s been taken care of before you even start pedaling. From the Netherlands to Italy: it’s time to discover our selection of the best cycling itineraries in Europe!

Tours
Italy (27 tours)
Italy’s most popular long-distance bicycle routes take you from the Adige river to the Dolomites, to Lake Garda, and all around the Adriatic. There are shorter bike routes as well, such as the well-known ride from Peschiera to Mantova. Last but not least, don’t forget about the hill towns and art cities all around Tuscany. They are part of our Girolibero mapped network, so they’re definitely worth considering if you’re interested in cycling in Italy.
France (7 tours)
France’s cycling routes branch out between ocean and mountains, along great rivers, and in the heart of historic cities. Explore the Loire Valley by bike, or get your wheels spinning for the Véloscénie; a route that takes you from Paris to the Mont Saint-Michel, via Chartres and Normandy. Lastly, the ViaRhôna takes you along the Rhone from the mountains to the Camargue region. Learn more about our cycle tours in France.
The Netherlands (10 tours)
Bike paths in the Netherlands run through cities and the countryside for roughly 19,000 miles, and riding a bike is the perfect way to get to know this completely flat country. Explore the Netherlands by bike and you’ll soon discover this country has much more to offer than just Amsterdam and tulips. In the North, you’ll find the dunes of Texel and the Frisian Islands, and a bit more to the South, you’ll be enchanted by small historic cities like Delft and Haarlem. Finally, enjoy a relaxing few days in modern and lively cities like Utrecht and Rotterdam. Read more about our cycling holidays in the Netherlands.
Croatia and Greece (11 tours)
If you can’t resist the lure of the sea, come and explore these countries full of coastal bike trails and bays of crystal clear water! After a few climbs, cool off with a swim in Kvarner Gulf or Dalmatia, the Cyclades or the Ionian Islands… there is something for everyone! Learn more about our bike and barge tours in Croatia.
Austria and Germany (6 tours)
Just about 435,000 miles of bicycle paths connect cyclists with cities and fascinating natural landscapes, with something to please all types of cyclists. Soak in all nature has to offer as you cycle along rivers like the Moselle, Rhine, Elbe, and Danube.
Themes
For families (6 tours)
Enjoy a vacation with the little ones on Europe’s bike paths, but ditch the headache of figuring out the logistics! We’ll check you in to family-friendly hotels and have discounts at the ready for children and teens. Of course, we didn’t forget about special bike attachments and bike rentals for children of all ages. The rides on our family trips are shorter and kid-friendly; on bike paths or roads away from busy traffic. Read more about our cycling holidays with children.
By the sea (15 tours)
Looking for an active vacation, with some pockets of extra free time sprinkled throughout? We’re sure you’ll enjoy the sunny beaches and refreshing dips in the water in our tours by the sea.
Bikes
You can rent the bike type that suits you best. You will find it at the starting point of the tour and you have to return it at the end of the last cycling stage: isn’t it easy? Rental bikes are always serviced and ready for a new cycling adventure; however, should you have any mechanical problems, you can contact our local partner.
