These maps are made in co-operation with the Dutch Cyclists' Union. They not only give the touristic sites, but also help you find the most bike-friendly routes through the city and to the surrounding countryside.

Purchasing your cycle map
In Holland:
Cycle maps are widely available in Holland. They can be purchased at VVV tourist information offices, book shops with a travel section, ANWB travel shops and popular locations visited by cyclists.
Online:
You can buy your cycle map online via the Fietsvakantiewinkel (in Dutch). As postage fees to addresses outside Holland are relatively high for 'just a map', it's not a regular service they offer. But if you don't mind the extra postage fees, you are welcome to send them an email and they will send you any cycle map you want.
