You will be cycling through charming villages and quintessentially Dutch landscapes. And just across the border, Antwerp will impress you with its historical squares and majestic cathedrals, Ghent boasts 18 museums and more than 100 churches, and be prepared to be wooed by the UNESCO-listed historic city center of Bruges.
