EuroVelo Route Planner: all you need to know to start planning your trip

Exactly one year ago , the GPX download button was made available with a lot of success. Indeed, as stated in the recently released EuroVelo Digital Statistics Report, there were more than 40,000 downloads in just five months.

To mark this anniversary, the toolset has been extended again with another long-awaited feature, the Route Planner , developed in the frame of the AtlanticOnBike project extension co-funded by the EU Interreg Atlantic Area Programme .

This new tool joins the resources, such as the list of national cycling-friendly services schemes facilitating your search of accommodation and the GPX tracks, that allow you to plan (almost) your whole trip on EuroVelo.com . From the instant the idea pops into your head to the moment you load the GPX files onto your computer, EuroVelo.com is there for you.

Counting 17 long-distance cycling routes, the EuroVelo network is spread across 38 countries, with over 45,000 km of developed routes and more to come in the next years. Whether you are a new or an experienced cycling tourist, choosing your next itinerary and how to best combine the different routes may seem daunting. But don't worry, the route planner is here to make planning your trip as easy as riding a bike.

While the EuroVelo Overview Map is already a great source of inspiration to hang at home – even on your toilets’ wall (available here ), the Route Planner really opens up a new world of possibilities.

Where do I start?

The first thing you will have to determine is where you want to start and end your trip along the network . You can type directly in the destination field to find the nearest city or town crossed by a EuroVelo route or pick a point on the map 1 . Do you want to visit a friend on the way or make a stop in that extraordinary city you always dreamt of discovering? No worries, just add an intermediate destination (or several) before diving into the different route options available to you!

We know that there are many different conceptions of what a cycling trip should be. Some will prefer the safest option with low-traffic roads, even if it means a longer journey, while others are looking to challenge themselves by covering many kilometres in a short period of time. There are adventure-seekers among you, but also people who just want to experience a slow travelling style. That is why you can choose among several options : the most developed itinerary, the most direct or the one which contains the least climbs. And rest assured, if you do not have a firm opinion on the topic, you can pick the recommended itinerary, delivering a perfect balance between all of those options.

A suggested itinerary and so much more

After making these first choices, click on “GO” and let the magic happen.

You will now see a focus on the calculated itinerary , with the different colours of the interactive map legend appearing to show the development levels you will find along the way 2 .

You can also pass your cursor on the itinerary to consult the elevation levels or directly go to the bottom-left corner to see the full elevation graphic. The different points of interest are indicated on the map as well, to give you an overview of the many cultural, culinary or historical sites you will cross (a non-exhaustive list!).

Check the “Itinerary” box on the right side of your screen to see more details about this planned trip. You can find the route logos of the EuroVelo routes covered, followed by the total number of kilometres of the itinerary and the approximate duration of the trip . Please note that the average number of kilometres cycled per day has been fixed to 50 kilometres, but you might shorten your trip by covering longer distances each day.

Just below is the amount of CO2 saved by making your trip on a bike, which you can brag about to those around you who are not yet convinced by cycling tourism (if there are still any!).

Another novelty that you will find in this box is our brand-new “ Five tips to plan your cycling trip ” page to help you further in the preparation for your cycling trip.

By clicking on "Show more”, all the suggested daily stages are unveiled, followed by descriptions of the different EuroVelo routes and information on countries and National EuroVelo Coordination Centres 3 .

Finally, you can go back to the top to print or save your itinerary in PDF but also download the GPX tracks of your selected itinerary (please read the disclaimer ). If you are not sure how to use the GPX files, here is an article explaining how it works with a selection of apps and software programs that are easy to experiment.

Once accustomed, you can start over with other destinations and imagine an infinite number of cycling journeys!

A demonstration video on how to configure your route

For all the YouTube tutorial fans out there, we have prepared a short video to guide you through this new, exciting feature! As this Route Planner was developed in the frame of the AtlanticOnBike project, we imagined a trip along the magnificent EuroVelo 1 – Atlantic Coast Route . Click below to discover the tutorial.

Go on and start dreaming, as dreams are the prerequisite to making a new reality happen. The Route Planner is free to use, but if you like what we're doing, don't hesitate to support EuroVelo . If you notice any bugs when using the route planner, please let us know by emailing us at [email protected] .

1. Please keep in mind that you will have to select a place along one EuroVelo route for your starting, intermediary and ending point. This route planner is only using EuroVelo routes. You may have to use other local, regional or national cycling routes to join your starting destination along the EuroVelo network. If you would like to find out more about local, regional and national cycling routes, we invite you to browse the different countries’ pages containing all links to the relevant national websites.

2. Green lines indicate a Certified EuroVelo route meaning that either the full route or a section of at least 300 km has successfully undergone the certification process in line with the ECF's European Certification Standard . It is the highest quality level on the EuroVelo network. Yellow lines mean there is continuous signing along the route incorporating EuroVelo route information panels. Continuous red lines indicate that the route is signed in line with the respective national standard. For both latest categories, there must be a website providing more information to users (linked to EuroVelo.com). Dashed red lines indicate routes under development but usable. It means also it is possible to follow the route either with signing or detailed information publicly available on the internet on national or regional cycling/tourism portals (linked to EuroVelo.com). The route may contain some sections that need further development (e.g. stretches on public highways with high levels of traffic). Dotted red lines indicate routes at the planning stage. Therefore, the route is not signed and there is no detailed information publicly available on the Internet. The proposed itinerary communicated is a proposal for the best possible option currently available. Please note that it may also contain dangerous sections. Finally, white dotted lines show the sections for which another type of transport has to be used (mostly ferries and sometimes trains, and for some exceptions, planes due to ferry lines shut down). Please find more information on the stage and route pages. Please note that ECF is constantly working with its National EuroVelo Coordination Centres (NECC) on developing the network, but there remain differences in the conditions of the routes , even between sections of the same route. NECCs provide the latest information they have on development levels that can be found along the network. While ECF and National EuroVelo Coordination Centers (NECC) make every effort to ensure the tracks and their levels of development are both current and accurate, errors or outdated information can occur.

3. The National EuroVelo Coordination Centres (NECCs) represent the link between the European and national levels of EuroVelo routes. Most of the time, it is a consortium of several national stakeholders – often including decision-making bodies on transport and tourism. They are responsible for the implementation, coordination, quality assurance and communication of EuroVelo in their respective countries.

Le Vélotour de retour à Reims pour une nouvelle balade insolite à la découverte des pépites de la ville

Les Halles Boulingrin, le lycée Roosevelt, le Centre des Congrès… Voici quelques-uns des lieux qui seront exceptionnellement traversés ce dimanche 25 août 2024 par les près de 5 000 cyclistes attendus pour la quatrième édition du Vélotour à Reims.

La 4e édition du Vélotour de Reims (Marne), suivant le format de l’événement créé à Dijon en 2006, s’élancera dimanche 25 août dans la cité des sacres. D’année en année le compteur grimpe. L’an dernier, cette déambulation festive affichait complet avec 5 000 cyclistes engagés. Les randonneurs avaient traversé la caserne de pompiers Marchandeau, l’hôpital Maison-Blanche, ou encore le centre de maintenance du tramway.

Ce dimanche 25 août, le départ sera donné de 8 heures à 12 heures depuis la porte de Mars, cet arc gallo-romain fraîchement restauré où se tiendra également le village d’arrivée. Cette année, les participants pédaleront également dans d’autres sites, dont le lycée Roosevelt, La Fileuse, les halles du Boulingrin ou le centre des congrès. Chaque année, l’organisation mixe des endroits historiques, culturels ou sportifs. Une manière de redécouvrir les pépites de la cité des Sacres.

Passage dans une maison de champagne

Une dizaine de sites sont au programme de cette boucle principale de 17 km, à laquelle s’ajoute une première boucle optionnelle de 1,5 km. Enfin, une option avec 3,5 km supplémentaires est proposée pour les plus courageux, avec un passage par le Stade Delaune et le complexe sportif René Tys.

Et si la manifestation s’installe en Champagne, elle a aussi vocation à coller davantage à l’image de la ville et à son terroir. Cette année encore, elle va ainsi pousser les portes d’une maison de champagne, la maison Mumm, dont les cyclistes franchiront les grilles pour la première fois. En 2021, c’est la Maison Ruinart qui avait accueilli l’événement dans son parc et ses jardins.

Depuis l’ouverture de la billetterie payante fin janvier, « plus de 50 % des billets ont déjà été vendus », fait savoir l’organisation, soit environ 2 700 places. Pour cette nouvelle édition, l’ambiance sera aussi au rendez-vous. Familiale et conviviale, la manifestation invite en effet les participants à se déguiser pour donner davantage d’ambiance et d’énergie à « l’épreuve ». Vélotour se déroule également dans douze autres villes françaises . Dijon s’apprête à accueillir sa 18e édition le 15 septembre prochain.

What Our Clients Say

Recently enjoyed a trip to Mallorca staying in Port de Pollenca, the hotel, cycle hire and airport transfers were all organised for us by Phil at what I feel was a very good and fair price. This was my first experience of this type of trip so used them on recommendation from a friend who had used them a few years back - I can also happily recommend, been home 2 days and already talking about booking a trip for next year so I will be contacting LoveVelo again soon. Great service - 5 stars well earned.

Ashley Baldry

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a meticulously organized trip to Mallorca, Spain, with Love Velo, and it was a phenomenal experience. From the moment we arrived, every detail was taken care of, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in the cycling experience and the stunning surroundings of Mallorca.

DJ Bouzourene

Loved our Love Velo trip to Mallorca! The whole thing ran perfectly smoothly, the hotel and hire bikes were brilliant and the app was super easy to use and gave us some fantastic routes to download to our Wahoo devices. Thanks to the team for all their help and recommendations. Mallorca, we will be back!

What our guests say about us…

Susan T June 2024 Australia Best trip ever, wonderful and felt safe Our wine biking trip through Pulgia was the best trip we have taken. The e-bikes were outstanding with 70 to 80 Kms range. The route was great through villages and bike lanes. We saw the true Italian countryside. Picking cherries from trees where the branches overhung the road was amazing. Italians were all very courteous to us bike riders. The wine experiences were all outstanding, giving us a true understanding of how wine, food, family and friends are all inextricably linked and savoured. Our accommodation was outstanding and the meals just scrumptious. Italians have no concept to underfed you. Puglia Bike company where wonderful to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. It seemed obvious that the company, wine producers and accommodation suppliers all work wonderfully together and promote the best of Italian produce. Thankyou Silvia & Antonio See more

Mindy K June 2024 See the REAL Puglia with Puglia Cycle Tours We only had a week in Puglia, and we wanted three days of cycling. No problem! Puglia Cycling Tours designed a custom tour route that we followed at our own pace for three days. They kept us safe with a great bike orientation, and their selected routes were 98% on small side roads (with the exception of roads to get to the city centers). In addition, they booked us into fabulous (I mean FABULOUS!) hotels that were perfectly located, comfortable, and near so many great attractions in walking distance (walking was certainly helpful after long cycling days). Moreover, Puglia Cycle Tours staff were super-responsive before and DURING the trip. When we had a question, we always got a quick answer. We highly recommend their great customer service! See more

Barry June 2024 England Puglia Cycle Tours designed a perfect cycling holiday for me Because Puglia are a regionally based company their route planning included familiar quiet tracks and roads which also gave an insight into local life. Supported by an inclusive smart GPS guidance device which acted as a personal guide for my solo rides . The device also indicated suggested restaurants and bars along the way . The burden of luggage was alleviated by my case being moved on daily always awaiting me , on arrival at my next stopover which included rural farms , baroque old town and modern hotels . I requested a slightly longer holiday than the standard package which Chiara , my booking agent , produced to perfection . I have previously cycled Puglia before , however I can honestly say this experience I would recommend as superb to anyone wanting to cycle in a beautiful corner of Italy . Barry Whitehead , Bolton.

Will B March 2019 London, UK A truly memorable holiday cycling through Puglia's stunning countryside. My girlfriend and I have just returned from the 11-day cycling tour of Puglia and can't rate it highly enough - it was a perfect holiday. Puglia itself is stunning, and the tour is really well balanced, exploring historic towns, beautiful countryside, and natural wonders. See more

675karlieb April 2019 Sidney, Australia I cannot praise the staff enough. Nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation they chose was great quality and well located. The bikes were wonderful. I’m already thinking about the route I’d like to take for my next Puglia Cycle adventure... See more

Katie B May 2019 London, UK Everything about our trip with Puglia Cycle Tours was amazing and we could not have wished for a better holiday in Puglia. My boyfriend and I did the 8 day self-guided tour and loved every second. Everything from the booking process, to the briefing on the first day, to the cycle routes and hotels was brilliant.

VeloTour Festival

Discover where bike touring can take you. From 18 to 20 May 2024 in Belgium. HTML5 UP .

• Stay updated

The fourth Velotour Festival will take place from Saturday 18 to Monday 20 May 2024!

150 cycling enthusiasts from all over Belgium and beyond will gather to make a 3-day bicycle tour in Belgium, share their excitement about bike touring and have a great time together. This festival is organised by the people behind Welcome To My Garden.

Gathering at 10:00 near a train station which is easy to reach. After a briefing, we'll start our first day of cycling (40, 60 or 80km). At night, we get together to have dinner and share stories, ideas and inspiration. Camping in a field in a small village.

Start with a healthy breakfast. Choose between a ride of 40, 60 and 80 km to go to our second destination. We'll enjoy dinner together and get to know each other! And yes, we'll sleep in our tents again.

Last breakfast together before a final ride of 40, 60 or 80 km. The festival ends at a train station which has many train connections. Farewell drink to say goodbye and see you next year!

All you need to know

Please read this FAQ section thoroughly so that you know what you're getting yourself into. If you can't find the answer on your question below, please drop us an email at velotourfestival[at]gmail.com.

Why this Festival

Exploring by bicycle makes you feel alive. It's a unique way to discover a region. What if you combine this with meeting other enthusiasts and have a great time together? The Velotour Festival gives you the opportunity to travel by bicycle in Belgium and meet new people.

For both curious-minded people who want to discover bicycle touring and experienced bicycle travellers to share their passion and stories. From solo travelers to families, everyone is welcome. If you are travelling with your 10 best friends, we doubt you’ll still have time to meet others, so no groups please!

Come with your own bicycle. Please note that you'll carry your own panniers with camping gear (tent, sleeping bag & mattress) and repair kit. Yet, not owning equipment shouldn't stop you from participating, ask a friend to lend you equipment or leave a comment in the registration form so that we can help you.

Participation fee

120 euro per person (60 euro per kid & free of charge for children under 2 years old). The fee includes 2x breakfast, 2x dinner, insurance, social activities, basic facilities & some other small costs (overhead). Lunch & drinks are not included. Check out the full budget here .

3 days of cycling with 3 options (40, 60 and 80 km). We won't cycle together in 1 big group. It's a 3-day event and it's not possible to join for only one day. You'll receive more information about the itinerary before the event and on the first day during the briefing.

In the evening there will be social activities around bicycle touring. Please let us know about your suggestions in the registration form! Those activities won't be next to the tents, so that you can also rest if you want to.

Organisation

This is a not-for-profit event. During the festival all partipants are invited to volunteer and give a hand in either the morning or evening. The Velotour is a community event, so your registration cannot be resold to someone else. You can cancel and get a full refund up to two weeks before the festival.

There's a liability and physical damage insurance for all volunteers and a basic physical damage insurance for all participants. Yet, you participate at your own risk and responsibility. You will be asked to sign a disclaimer on the first day to waive any liability towards the organising volunteers and must respect the highway code.

Code of conduct

The goal of the Velotour Festival is to meet new people and get to know each other. It's a must to be open towards others and to agree with our code of conduct .

The VeloTour Festival is organised à la belge: a good mix of English, French, Dutch and German. Whatever language you speak, we'll find a way to communicate with one another.

What participants say

A mini family adventure! The joy of cycling, meeting other people in the evening and sleeping in a tent.

Surprising itinerary and nice encounters with 'like-minded' people. Inspiring!

The sense of community is very strong at the Velotour. Whenever you have a problem there's always someone there to help you.

Still up for it?

Register now since it's first come, first served! We hope to see you at the VeloTour Festival.

• Bari, Puglia

Velo Service è un tour operator leader nel turismo esperienziale e sostenibile in Puglia. Nata nel 2009 come start-up innovativa da un gruppo di appassionati di viaggi in bicicletta, si è evoluta negli anni fino a diventare un punto di riferimento nel settore dell'accoglienza e dell'intrattenimento turistico. Un team giovane e affiatato lavora con dedizione tutto l'anno per creare esperienze uniche e personalizzate, valorizzando l'immersione nella cultura locale. Una flotta diversificata di biciclette a noleggio , tra cui la caratteristica bici "rickshaw", permette ai clienti di esplorare la Puglia in modo dinamico e non convenzionale. L'alta qualità dei servizi offerti , sia da catalogo che personalizzati, è testimoniata dalle due accoglienti sedi nei centri storici di Bari e Lecce e dalle oltre 6.000 recensioni eccellenti online. Velo Service guarda con entusiasmo alle sfide future , orgogliosa della storia finora scritta e impegnata nella continua ricerca di emozionanti opportunità per superare le aspettative dei suoi clienti.

Paco is our CEO and founder, who since 2008 has been known as the man of rickshaws and bikes because he first realized the importance of developing slow, responsible, and highly inclusive tourism in the area. In his freetime, here's a fun fact that highlights his eclectic and fascinating personality: he has visited over 50 countries around the world, always proudly sporting the red and white scarf of his hometown team.

Crashes send three more riders home, including Colombia's Urán racing his 25th and final grand tour of his legendary career.

ANTEQUERA, Spain (Velo) — Matthew Riccitello ‘s dream Vuelta a España turned into a nightmare late Thursday, while Colombian legend Rigoberto Urán is heading home with injury.

The pair is among several top riders crashing in Thursday’s breakaway stage on sinuous and slick roads at the Spanish grand tour.

Israel-Premier Tech officials were waiting to release details, but the 22-year-old hit the deck late in the sixth stage on a twisting descent off the Cat. 3 Puerto Martínez.

“Unfortunately, Matthew Riccitello suffered a crash. An update on the American will be given after further checkups,” a team note read.

There were no images of the spill, but the young American was able to finish the stage, crossing the line in 70th at 13:52 back.

After a superb Vuelta start that saw him climb into the GC group in Tuesday’s opening mountain stage, Riccitello’s hopes for a top-10 on GC took a blow Thursday after dropping 34 places, from 12th at 1:04 back to 46th at 13:16.

It was even worse for Urán, who also crashed Thursday and is now heading home from what is the final grand tour of his legendary career.

Urán, 37, was racing his 25th grand tour, and was going to retire in Madrid. Those plans are now dashed.

“X-rays found a fracture in the greater trochanter of his left hip. He does not need surgery and will return home to recover,” a team note read. “Not the way we wanted to see Rigo finish his last dance.”

A pro since 2006, Urán was a seminal figure in the modern era boom of Colombian cycling that saw the rise of a new generation of riders that also included Colombia’s only yellow jersey Egan Bernal, Nairo Quintana, and Esteban Chaves, among many others over the past 15 years.

Twice a runner-up at the Giro d’Italia and second in the 2017 Tour de France, Urán was a mentor and father-like figure to nearly two decades of Colombian riders finding their way in the European peloton.

Other big names crashing Thursday included Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates), who also fell on the same descent as Riccitello.

The Brit was unable to regain contact with the leading GC bunch, and lost 2:34 to the main favorites. Yates, third in the 2023 Tour de France, dropped out of contention into 36th at 9:10 back.

Kenny Elissonde (Cofidis), a Vuelta stage winner up the Angliru in 2013, and Jon Aberasturi (Euskaltel-Euskadi) also did not finish.

Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates), the Vuelta’s first stage winner and red jersey, lost more than 30 minutes Thursday and tumbled out of the top-10, but it was uncertain what happened.

Beau parcours plein de charme. Toutefois magasins, cafés, restaurants, boulangeries fermés tout au long du parcours au nord de Rennes jusqu'à Dinan. Il faut avoir à manger pour plusieurs jours dans les sacoches...

Nous venons de rentrer de ce magnifique parcours qui oscille entre vignes, champs de lavande, forêts de pins, jolis villages perchés, sous le soleil provençal et au son du chant des cigales. Ce parcours emprunte de jolies voies secondaires, avec quelques belles montées. Il est très bien fléché, même si, malheureusement, quelques panneaux sont tombés par terre.

Nous venons de rentrer de ce magnifique parcours : entre petites routes au milieu des vignes, belles montées, jolis villages, gorges de la Nesque magnifiques, le Ventoux toujours en fond (et de différents points de vue), ... Nous avons vraiment beaucoup aimé. Et la cerise sur le gâteau : l'ascension du géant de Provence au départ de Sault = génial !!!!

Dedicated to remembering the millions of murdered men, women and children, Florida’s Holocaust Museum is one of the largest of its type in the country.

The museum was founded in 1992 by Walter P. Loebenberg, a local businessman and philanthropist. Loebenberg himself escaped Nazi Germany for Florida and then joined the United States Armed Forces to serve in World War II.

The poignant exhibitions include one of the few surviving boxcars which were used by the Nazis to transport Jews and political prisoners to the death camps of Auschwitz and Treblinka.

St.Petersburg is home to a very unique and cool fishing spot in the shadow of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge which spans Tampa Bay. When the Sunshine Skyway was built in the mid-1980s, the old bay bridge was left in place and quickly became popular with local anglers.

Another of the city’s fantastic waterfront green spaces, Demens Landing Park occupies the space which was formerly the city’s first railway pier. It is named after its creator, Peter Demens.

21 – Explore the Gizella Kopsick Palm Arboretum

It’s hard to believe that the lush 2-acre tropical gardens of Gizella Kopsick Palm Arboretum were a mini-golf course not so long ago. This beautiful collection of exotic palms is well worth a visit during your time in the city.

The transformation began in 1976 after a donation of 60 palms of ten different species was gifted by longtime palm admirer, Miss Gizelle Kopsick. The Arboretum was dedicated to Miss Kopsick one year later to celebrate her 100th Birthday.

Over nearly 50 years, the collection has grown to include 150 species of palm and cycads and 500 individual plants. The arboretum is wheelchair accessible and as part of St. Petersburg’s city parks, is free admission.

22 – See amazing Contemporary glass art at Imagine Museum

The newly opened Imagine Museum is one of the first institutions dedicated solely to contemporary glass art in the US. Its collection includes over 1,500 pieces from all over the world as well as a core collection of 500 American studio glass artworks.

This inspiring museum is sure to uplift everyone who visits as it stretches our concept of the applications of glass as a material. The unique pieces collected here display the ingenuity of the individual artists and the wide range of techniques applied in the modern studio glass scene.

The museum displays both permanent and temporary exhibitions and visitors can opt to join a tour of the gallery to gain a deeper insight into the artworks on display. This is a must-see for art lovers but the pieces on display have a diverse appeal that will be fascinating and beautiful to most people.

Definitely check this out.

23 – Cycle the Pinellas Trail

The trail runs through a number of towns on the way including South Pasadena, Palm Harbor and Clearwater. This unique and level passageway used to be the route of the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line Railroads which were abandoned in the 1980s.
