Good route for a 1-day bike trip around Amsterdam

score:7

Accepted answer

My all-time favourite cycle trip from Amsterdam is one from Amsterdam, through Durgerdam to Marken. I added some images in a related answer. It has it all. Land below sea level, bucolic places like holysloot and the folkloristic Marken. If condition permits you could consider taking the ferry to Volendam and cycle back to Amsterdam from there

I have no personal experience with cycling in that area, but I might can recommend to use this tool from a Dutch bikers association.

Basically, what you can do, is select a starting point for a round trip, a preferred distance, and some more personal preference, which it will take into account where possible. With a lot of tweaking, I get some example route.

The example route goes south, I think it might be more interesting to go north. As a foreign tourist, you might enjoy Zaanse schans and Volendam on the route.

Hint: on the maps you can click numbered junctions, to show these. You can use it to plan your route accurately, but don't fear to get lost, there are a lot of below signs all around the country. (source)
