Cycling season opening classic not to be missed!

The kickoff of the new cycling season traditionally happens in Ghent with the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. It is also the first WorldTour race at the European level. You already understand: this is a race with a lot of furor. The cycling party gets underway indoors at Het Kuipke at 11:15 a.m., then later heads to Geraardsbergen via the Zwalm region. A climb on 'De Muur' can obviously not be missed.

To not miss the first cycling festival of the year, a place to sleep in Ghent is essential. Want to see the climbers at work? Then Geraardsbergen is the place to be. Hi Flanders assists you, with our hostels near the course. Come to De Draecke in Ghent or 'T Schipken in Geraardsbergen and enjoy this piece of cycling history!
