Cycling day trip from Újbuda to Szentendre

This is a fantastic ride from the heart of Újbuda up to the picturesque town of Szentendre! Starting in Budapest’s vibrant 11th district, you’ll quickly leave city life behind as you follow the Danube north. Most of your 35 km journey will be on smooth, paved cycle paths that hug the river—a true treat for anyone who loves riverside views and a gentle breeze.

The elevation is pretty manageable, with about 200 meters of ascent in total, making it accessible even for recreational riders. Most of the way is dedicated cycleway, so you can relax and enjoy the scenery, with only a couple of short sections on quiet roads. Pro tip: take a break at one of the little cafés or benches by the riverbank.

Once you roll into Szentendre, you’ll be greeted by a charming riverside town known for its cobbled streets, colorful houses, and vibrant art scene. It’s the perfect place to rest up, grab an ice cream, and soak in the Danube atmosphere—before heading back or hopping on the train home!
