Scenic loops

  • Keukenhof windmill loop: short, flat, and photogenic.
  • Lisse canal loop: water reflections + fields.
  • Hillegom extended loop: quieter roads and long horizons.

Safety principles

  • Keep right, signal early, and yield to farm vehicles.
  • Stop off-path for photos; never block lanes.
  • Helmets recommended; weather changes quickly.

Rentals

  • Near Keukenhof: multiple seasonal vendors.
  • In Lisse center: year-round shops with seasonal demand.
  • Book early during peak weekends.

Bottom line

Choose a short scenic loop, respect traffic, and take photos from safe stops. Cycling adds freedom to your tulip day.
