Cycle maps and guides

There is a huge selection of cycle guides in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, the choice of  English guides is (as yet) rather limited. In this section, we list some of the guides available and state whether they are intended for daytrips or multi-day tours. Cycle maps are generally not language bound. You can ‘read’ or use them even if you don’t speak the language.
The guides and maps listed below can be ordered from the webshop (in association with the Fietsvakantiewinkel). Please take in mind the shipping costs and delivery time (mostly more than a week)! You also can email at winkel[ad]fietsvakantiewinkel.nl to order your copy or to inquire about a guide. You can, of course, also buy cycle guides and maps in the Netherlands at local Tourist Information Offices, Royal Dutch Touring Club ANWB shops or bookshops.
