Cyclist- and bicyclist-friendly accommodation in Europe


We wrote about the German Cycling Club's BettundBike.de/en website earlier, in 2013. It is an excellent website offering lists of cyclist-friendly accommodation (Hotels, pensions, guest houses, youth hostels camping sites) in Europe. The idea has spread into neighbouring countries.





In addition there are other sources of information in websites listing cyclist-friendly accommodation:
  • Austria Vienna Wien.info has 130 cyclist friendly hotels/pensions/guest houses on its books.
  • Belgium 
  • Croatia There seems to be no specific information available on cyclist friendly hotels but on the other hand we suspect that all the hotels in Croatia are cyclist-friendly.
  • Denmark The http://cyclistic.dk/en/ website has lists of cyclist-friendly accommodation in Denmark.
  • France In our experience all French hotels are cyclist-friendly and with one exception over about 35 years of cycling in France, we've always had somewhere to lock our bikes away, in the countryside in sheds and in the cities conference rooms or unused offices. 
  • Netherlands The http://www.allefietserswelkom.nl/kaart shows a map of the Netherlands with accommodation marked. By clicking on the map one links to the hotel and hostel websites. The website is in Dutch, but the accommodation websites often offer an English version. 
  • Poland There seems to be no specific information available on cyclist friendly hotels but on the other hand we suspect that all the hotels in Poland are cyclist-friendly. There are links to accommodation on http://www.poland.travel/en/cycling/cyclist--environmentalist/. 
  • Switzerland Check out http://www.veloland.ch/en/accommodation.html
