Europe is the birthplace of the bicycle, though exactly where it was first invented is up for debate (the French contend the inventor was a Frenchman, the English say he was one of theirs, and the Scots throw in a claim, too). Cycling culture runs deep in Europe.
Cycling Holidays are great fun and a great way to socialise, and we really are spoilt for choice with loads of great cycling destinations around Europe, and there are routes to suit all abilities depending on the style of riding you are after. If you’re fit and agile, there are some great mountain and woodland trails that will really push you to the limit.
Mecklenburg Lakes, Germany
Germany is one of the most bicycle friendly countries in Europe with more than 70,000km of trails and 200 different long distance routes. Combine beautiful scenery with a challenging ride along the 640km length off Mecklenburg Lakes, starting in Lüneburg.
Budapest, Hungary
Campaigns promoting cycling have been followed by improved paths and facilities in the Hungarian capital. Guided tours are becoming a popular way to see the city, with a local guide, visiting historical points of interest on both sides of the Danube River.
Napoleon Expedition
Bicycle Adventures roughly traces Napoleon’s 1812 Russian Campaign. It begins in Paris with a spin down the Champs-Élysées, followed by aperitifs under the shadow of the Arc de Triomphe before departing for Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Russia through rolling vineyards, deep forests, medieval villages, and historic cities.
Vienna, Austria
Bicycling along the River Danube in Austria provides a beautiful backdrop for cyclists willing to endure the 225km Danube Cycle Path. Hop on two wheels and prepare to go from Linz to Vienna through bucolic rural Austria, stopping at historic villages and vineyards along the way.
