Cycling day trip from Bratislava to Trnava

Set off from Slovakia’s vibrant capital, Bratislava, and make your way northeast to the charming town of Trnava! This scenic 77 km ride winds through rolling hills and offers a bit of a workout, with over 1000 meters of ascent and descent along the way.

You’ll start at the banks of the Danube, passing Bratislava’s famous castle, before meandering into the countryside on a mix of quiet roads, tracks, and a few cycleways. Expect mostly paved surfaces—with a dash of gravel and unpaved stretches to keep things interesting. The route’s peaceful backroads provide great views and a break from traffic, so you can really enjoy the Slovak countryside.

Trnava—often called the “Slovak Rome” for its abundance of churches—is a beautiful spot to finish your ride. Grab a coffee in the historic town square and soak in the atmosphere. It’s a satisfying day out for any cyclist ready for a bit of a challenge and some great scenery!
