Cycling day trip from Bratislava to Pezinok

This scenic cycling route takes you from Bratislava, Slovakia’s lively capital city, to the charming wine town of Pezinok. Covering about 35 km, the ride is mostly on quiet roads and paved surfaces, winding north into the forested hills of the Malé Karpaty (Little Carpathians).

You’ll get a solid workout with over 850 meters of ascent and descent—expect some rolling hills and a couple of rewarding climbs. The maximum elevation is just above 550 meters, which makes for some great viewpoints over the countryside.

Leaving Bratislava’s historical vibes behind, you’ll pass through peaceful villages and lush vineyards—perfect for a quick break or a photo stop. Pezinok at the end is known for its wine cellars and a lovely old town square, so be sure to treat yourself to some local wines after the ride! This journey offers a perfect mix of city sights, nature, and local culture.
