Cycling day trip from Bratislava to Modra

This is a scenic ride from vibrant Bratislava to the charming wine town of Modra, covering about 43 km. The route gently escapes the city bustle, winding through peaceful roads and greenery as you skirt the edge of the Little Carpathians. Expect a moderately hilly profile—there’s close to 900 meters of climbing, so you’ll get a nice workout with some rewarding views, especially around the high point at 559 meters.

Most of your ride will be on smooth, paved roads or quiet country lanes, with just a touch of gravel to keep things interesting. Bratislava’s historic center makes a great starting point—don’t miss the iconic castle or riverside before you go! After your ride, Modra welcomes you with its laid-back, small-town vibe, famous for local wines and ceramics. Grab a glass of something local at a wine cellar, or just stroll the cozy streets before heading back. Definitely a route to enjoy at a relaxed pace!
