Quick ride by bicycle from Budapest to Óbuda-Békásmegyer

Set out from the lively heart of Budapest and enjoy a relaxed northbound ride up to Óbuda-Békásmegyer, Budapest’s green and historic third district. This route’s about 7 km, so it’s perfect for an easy afternoon outing or a quick commute. Most of the path hugs the Danube and gives you plenty of cycling lanes and quiet roads—smooth riding almost all the way, with a little variety from paving stones and cobblestone patches, just enough to keep things interesting.

You'll catch some glimpses of the city’s famous bridges before rolling into Óbuda, an area with Roman roots and plenty of charming old squares and riverside views. There’s a mild ascent to keep your legs moving but nothing too steep, and you get a bit more downhill, so you can cruise into Békásmegyer feeling accomplished. Once you’re there, why not grab a coffee at a local café or explore the Aquincum ruins? All in all, it’s a gentle and enjoyable spin with a mix of city energy and relaxed neighborhood vibes.
