Quick ride by bicycle from Budapest to Újbuda

This ride starts right in the heart of Budapest, Hungary’s lively capital known for its stunning river views, grand parliament building, and vibrant café culture. You’ll head south toward Újbuda, a laid-back district on the Buda side, famous for its student energy, parks, and local hangouts.

The route is about 7 kilometers—just enough for a pleasant spin without feeling rushed. Most of your path follows dedicated cycleways and smooth asphalt, making it easy for all levels. There’s a small climb at the start, but after that, you get to enjoy a leisurely descent into Újbuda.

Along the way, take in Budapest’s unique mix of old and new: pass stately architecture, cross leafy boulevards, and soon find yourself rolling into Újbuda’s cool local scene. Grab a coffee at one of the neighborhood's many terraces or catch a glimpse of Gellért Hill nearby.

It’s a great route for getting a taste of Budapest beyond the tourist hotspots—easy, scenic, and a perfect intro to cycling in the city!
