Cycling day trip from Galanta to Trnava

Ready for a scenic spin through Western Slovakia? This route takes you from the town of Galanta, famous for its neo-Gothic castle and Baroque manor, all the way north to the vibrant city of Trnava—sometimes called the “Slovak Rome” for its impressive collection of historic churches.

You’ll cover just over 50 kilometers, mostly along smooth, paved surfaces with a gentle 84 meters of ascent—so it’s friendly for most cyclists. Expect easy cruising along cycleways and quiet country roads, winding past fields and small villages as you move closer to Trnava’s bustling medieval core. If you love history, take some time at the start to stroll around Galanta’s romantic castle grounds, and at the end, don’t miss Trnava’s old town, with its towers and cozy cafés.

There’s a mix of surfaces here—some stretches might be a bit bumpy, but most of your ride is on solid ground. It’s the perfect route if you want to see a slice of Slovak countryside, enjoy relaxed pedaling, and end up in one of the country’s cultural hotspots.
