Discover Katwijk by bike

Combine the best of both worlds: the urban coziness with the romance of the beach! The fishing village of Katwijk aan Zee and the more agricultural Katwijk aan den Rijn used to be different places. Today they form the municipality of Katwijk, together with Rijnsburg, Katwijk-Noord and Valkenburg. However, the close-knit fishing community can still be felt in Katwijk aan Zee. Katwijk has a wealth of monuments and attractions, including churches, the Spinoza House, numerous museums and of course the dune landscape. The annual New Year's Dive also takes place in Katwijk. You start at Herberg Welgelegen in Valkenburg, a beautiful old villa on the Oude Rijn. It is the old town hall of Valkenburg, but now you can spend the night there, so you can see even more of the area the next day, by bike or on foot.
