Cycling day trip from Bratislava to Rajka

This ride takes you from the vibrant Slovak capital, Bratislava, down to the small Hungarian village of Rajka. Starting off in Bratislava, you’ll experience the city’s mix of modern energy and historic charm before heading southward. The route is a cyclist’s dream—about 27 km in total, mostly flat, and you’ll roll smoothly on paved and well-maintained asphalt almost the entire way.

A good chunk of your route (about 70%) is dedicated cycleway, hugging the Danube for a while, giving you awesome views and a relaxing vibe. The scenery shifts from cityscapes to open countryside as you approach the border. With very little car traffic along quiet roads, it’s perfect for a stress-free ride.

The journey ends in Rajka, a picturesque Hungarian village with a welcoming feel—look out for local cafés to grab a post-ride snack. Fun fact: This route lets you cycle from Slovakia to Hungary in less than two hours! Great for a leisurely ride, with just enough hills to keep things interesting.
