Cycling day trip from Pezinok to Bratislava

Ready for a scenic ride from wine country into Slovakia’s vibrant capital? This route starts in charming Pezinok, a town famous for its wine cellars and rolling vineyards at the foot of the Little Carpathians. You’ll roll south, winding your way through quiet roads and gentle tracks — about 35 km in total — with a good mix of ascents and downhills to keep things interesting (almost 850 meters of climbing!).

Most of your ride is on smooth tarmac, so it’s ideal for a road bike. You’ll get glimpses of forests and open countryside before descending toward Bratislava. The city itself needs no introduction: it’s Slovakia’s lively capital, packed with history, cafes, and the iconic Bratislava Castle.

Perfect for anyone craving a day trip that combines nature, exercise, and urban adventure. Don’t forget to reward yourself with a coffee or beer in Bratislava’s Old Town at the finish line!
