But you can also find fantastic regions away from the usual cycle routes that you can get to know at your own pace by bike. Because only on a bike can you travel at your own pace and get to know the landscape and culture as if by magic.
In spring, the usual destinations for a cycle tour are of course in southern Europe. After all, it is already pleasantly warm in Spain or Italy in March and April, while winter in Germany is still not quite ready to say goodbye. A cycle tour in spring is not only a pleasure due to the already mild, but not yet too hot temperatures: the most popular cycle tour destinations are usually not as crowded as in the high season.
In May and June, the warm weather also arrives in France, the Netherlands and Poland at the latest. Another classic cycle tour in Europe is the Loire Cycle Route in France. You cycle from one romantic castle to the next. The magnificent buildings with their turrets and battlements almost seem to want to outdo each other. Holland, with its many canals, is a real delight for bike and boat travelers.
In summer, when it's too warm for cycling vacations in Spain, it's time to head to Sweden, Denmark, England or the Alps. The Masuria also shows its magical side during these months. South Tyrol beckons with pleasant cycling conditions and impressive peaks. The Three Peaks greet you on your bike as you cycle past.
When autumn finally arrives in Central Europe and the trees change color, cyclists will find great conditions in the south of Europe - be it in Italy or to get to know the islands of Croatia by bike & boat. Another advantage compared to a cycle tour in spring: the water temperature in the Mediterranean is still suitable for swimming in the fall thanks to the long summer!

Frequently Asked Questions About Cycling Holidays in Europe (FAQ)
What is included in cycling holidays with luggage transfer?
On all cycling tours by Radweg-Reisen, your luggage is transported from hotel to hotel each day – allowing you to start every morning with a light bike and no heavy bags.
Which cycling holidays in Europe are suitable for beginners?
For beginners, we recommend tours with shorter daily stages (30–45 km / 19–28 miles per day) and mainly flat terrain.
When is the best time for a cycling holiday in Europe?
The main season for cycling holidays in Europe is between May and September.
What is the difference between a bike & boat tour and a classic cycling tour?
On a bike & boat tour, the ship becomes your floating accommodation. During the day, you cycle along coasts, rivers, or islands, and in the evening you return to the ship. This means: no daily hotel check-ins and check-outs, your luggage stays safely on board, and the ship conveniently takes you to the next starting point overnight.
Do I need my own bike, or can I rent one?
Bringing your own bike is not necessary. Radweg-Reisen offers rental bikes at almost all starting locations – including comfortable trekking bikes as well as e-bikes for those who prefer a more relaxed ride on hilly routes.
