historical cities by bike

Fill in the form to the right and we will send you – based on your preferences – the availability at the 3 B&Bs and the cost within a few hours.
The B&B where you stay at least 2 nights will give you an extra present: a free ticket/person for:

Ghent: entrance ticket to the Castle of the Counts
Basel (near Antwerp): entrance ticket for the water bus to the centre of Antwerp & Het Steen
Aalst: ticket for “The Magic Carnival Tour”

You also get an overview of your trip and suggested routes.

You can leave your car at the start B&B.
It is possible to rent bikes and if you start in Ghent, you can even rent up to 2 panniers from Villa Emma that can be used as backpacks. That way you can easily plan a walk or a visit along the way …
