Quick ride by bicycle from Újbuda to Budapest IX. kerület

This ride takes you from Újbuda, one of Budapest’s lively and youthful quarters on the Buda side, right over to the heart of the IX. kerület (Ferencváros) in Pest—known for its cool cultural hotspots and riverside vibes. The route is super bike-friendly: almost all paved, with plenty of dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, so you can just roll along without worrying about traffic.

You’ll barely notice the ups and downs—there’s hardly 25 meters of ascent—making this a mellow ride for all skill levels. Starting in Újbuda, you might catch views of Gellért Hill or stop for coffee at one of the area’s buzzing cafés. Cross over the Danube (Liberty Bridge is a classic choice!) and you’ll cruise straight into Budapest IX, where the Great Market Hall and bustling cafés await.

The route covers about 7.4 km, so it’s perfect for a morning commute, a leisurely afternoon ride, or even as a scenic way to get to a ruin pub or a Gellért spa session. Enjoy the city, the fresh air, and the gorgeous views along the Danube!
