The HiFlanders cycling holiday via the Art Cities Route: a wonderful family adventure.

Jody Steyls

Jody, Lesley and their daughters Amber and Mira cycled through Flanders for five days. The Art Cities Route took them from one city to another. Each evening, they relaxed in a cosy hostel. The starting signal was given in Brussels, and the finish was in Ostend by the sea.

On the HiFlanders website, they booked all their overnight stays in hostels and reserved their hire bikes at Bike Packer in Brussels.
