Cycling in the Heart of Europe
Europe is home to some of the world’s most iconic cycling routes, each with its own character and appeal. Imagine pedalling through rolling vineyards, along peaceful riverbanks or tracing epic Alpine passes, all framed by centuries of culture.
In central Europe, the famed EuroVelo network showcases spectacular long-distance cycling routes that connect countries and landscapes. One of the most celebrated is the EuroVelo 6, known as the ‘Rivers Route’, which meanders from the Atlantic coast of France all the way to the Black Sea, threading through charming towns and historic cities along the way. Its Danube Cycleway section remains a favourite for cyclists seeking gentle gradients and scenic variety.
For riders who love the romance of rivers and lakes, routes around Lake Constance offer a scenic cycling holiday experience, winding through Germany, Austria and Switzerland with panoramic views, charming villages and inviting lakeside stops perfect for rest and refreshment. The Alps2Adria cycle route meanwhile combines mountain scenery with a journey from the Alpine city of Salzburg down to the Adriatic Sea in Italy, giving you a dramatic blend of terrains and contrasting culture.
Spain’s cycling culture also holds endless allure. From Mediterranean island routes in Mallorca which are perfect for both gentle coastal rides or challenging hill climbs, to hidden gems like Girona with its mix of terrain and cycling infrastructure, Spain inspires cyclists of all abilities.
Cycling Breaks Beyond Europe
While Europe is rich with classic routes, cycling holidays abroad extend far beyond the continent’s borders, offering diverse terrain, exotic culture and unforgettable landscapes.
In Japan, iconic routes such as the Shimanami Kaido connect islands via a network of bridges and quiet roads, blending spectacular ocean views with local culture and cuisine. Long haul cycling adventures might also take you through New Zealand’s lush terrain, where coastal paths and rugged hills create an epic backdrop for active exploration.
From the wine regions of South Africa to the dramatic peninsulas of Australia, the world offers a tapestry of landscapes tailor made for luxury cycling holidays. These spectacular long haul destinations combine adventure with cultural immersion, ensuring your cycling holiday abroad feels rich, rewarding and entirely your own.
Cycling Holidays Perfect For All Kinds of Traveller
Our bespoke cycling holidays cater to a wide range of holiday makers. Couples seeking a romantic and active getaway might prefer gentle coastal routes paired with fine dining and luxury accommodation. Families can enjoy sections of scenic cycle paths that weave through historic towns, vineyards and coastal landscapes, with plenty of opportunities to explore off the bike.
For seasoned cyclists travelling in a group with fellow enthusiasts, challenging mountain passes and legendary roads provide the ultimate sense of achievement, while those new to cycling tours can build confidence with expert guides and carefully chosen routes that balance adventure with comfort.
