By bicycle from Štúrovo to Esztergom

Get ready for a quick and scenic international ride! Starting in Štúrovo, Slovakia, you’ll roll south towards the historical Hungarian city of Esztergom, just across the Danube. The trip is under 3 km, mostly flat, and almost entirely on smooth asphalt, making it perfect for all cyclists.

You’ll start in Štúrovo, a charming border town best known for its views of the Esztergom Basilica across the river. The route includes a short section over the iconic Maria Valeria Bridge—don’t miss the stunning panorama of the basilica as you cross. The bridge itself is a symbol of friendship between Slovakia and Hungary, rebuilt in 2001.

Once you enter Esztergom, you’ll find yourself in the heart of Hungarian history. The city is home to Hungary’s largest basilica and loads of cute cafes along the riverbank. Parts of your ride will be along busier roads, but much of it is on quieter streets and even a touch of pedestrian area near the end. In short: a smooth, quick spin with big rewards at both ends!
