Travelling with Tactic: The Netherlands off the bike

Your guide to the Netherlands off the bike

Your guide to riding your bike in The Netherlands

The Netherlands might be known for its cycling infrastructure and an amazing amount of bikes, it doesn't mean you need to spend all your time on the bike. Read about what you can do off the bike in our guide to the Netherlands, made during our recent trip to The Netherlands with our friends and fellow Tactic employees Nick and Daan.

The boat

De Jacobsschelp

A boat might not be the first thought if looking for a place to stay, but this more than 100-year-old boat is a unique experience in the lovely village of Weesp, only 30 minutes from Amsterdam. It doesn’t offer the luxury of a hotel room, but it will leave you with something to talk about when you get home.

The Pub

Het Bruine Café

You will find at least one of these traditional Dutch pubs in every village. They are the second living room of some colourful local personalities. You will be served a typical Dutch beer and can almost always find a group playing card. If you’re getting a bit hungry, make sure to order a “bittergarnituur”.

The way to visit

De Rondvaartboot

A different way to visit the typical canals, which are not only located in Amsterdam is by boat. You will get a unique view of the city and life next to the water during the tour. Although the canals used to be too dirty to swim in, due to an extensive effort over the last 20 years they have become a lot cleaner. During the summer months, you will find some daring individuals going for a swim. Make sure to ask the Captain before diving into the water though.
