Cycling day trip from Újbuda to Velence

Get ready for a rewarding ride from Újbuda, Budapest’s lively and increasingly hip 11th district, all the way down to Velence—a lakeside town perfect for a post-ride dip or some lakeside relaxation! Your journey covers just over 69 km, mostly on quiet, paved roads and dedicated cycleways, with smooth asphalt for 91% of the route. There’s a modest 550 meters of climbing, but nothing too extreme—just enough to keep things interesting and reward you with some great views.

Leaving the urban energy of Újbuda behind, you'll weave through the southern outskirts of Budapest, then pedal through peaceful countryside villages. With Lake Velence waiting for you at the finish—one of Hungary’s biggest lakes, famous for warm waters and perfect cycling vibes—you’re in for a treat at the end of the journey. Most of the route feels relaxed, with low traffic and scenic, open landscapes. Just don’t forget your swimsuit for that well-deserved lake plunge when you arrive!
