Quick ride by bicycle from Budakalász to Budapest IV. kerület

Ready for a scenic ride from Budakalász to Budapest’s IV. kerület? This manageable 13 km route is mostly flat, with just a gentle ascent (about 20 meters up) and a slightly longer descent—so you’ll enjoy easy pedaling, especially towards the city. You’ll spend most of your journey on smooth cycleways and quiet roads, cruising through peaceful suburban stretches and green patches along the Danube’s side.

Budakalász is famous for its calm, small-town vibe and is a gateway to some pretty great cycling north of Budapest. Once you roll into Budapest’s IV. district (Újpest), you’ll find a bustling neighborhood with parks, shopping streets, and a nice mix of old-school Pest charm and new developments.

With over 80% paved surfaces—mostly asphalt—this route is perfect for almost any bike. Just keep in mind, there are a few short rougher sections (about 17% missing surface), so a hybrid or trekking bike is a safe bet. Enjoy the fresh air as you coast from the gateway of the Pilis mountains right into the heart of northern Budapest!
