During the Dordrecht Highlights Bike Tour, you discover much more than just the historic city centre in a relatively short time. Together with an experienced guide, you cycle along harbours, monuments, the point where three rivers meet and interesting places outside the centre. The tour gives you a broad impression of both historic and modern Dordrecht.

Historic city centre and waterfront

The route takes you along picturesque harbours, monumental buildings and places that reflect Dordrecht’s rich trading history. You also visit the famous Three Rivers Point, where three major waterways meet. Along the way, your guide tells you more about the history of the city, its close relationship with the water and the development of the historic centre. You will see how Dordrecht’s strategic location at the meeting point of several rivers helped shape its growth as an important trading city. The combination of historic harbours, impressive waterfront views and centuries-old architecture makes this part of the tour particularly varied.

Beyond the historic centre: waterfront, green districts and modern Dordrecht

By bike, you can explore a very different side of Dordrecht beyond the historic city centre. The route takes you past converted industrial heritage, waterfront developments, distinctive residential areas and greener neighbourhoods. Places such as Villa Augustus show how former industrial sites have been given a new purpose, while the surrounding districts reveal how Dordrecht expanded beyond its historic core. This combination of historic city, water, urban renewal and quieter neighbourhoods gives you a broader picture of Dordrecht today.
