By bicycle from Újbuda to Budapest XIII. kerület

This ride takes you from Budapest’s laid-back Újbuda district up through the heart of the city, ending in the vibrant XIII. kerület. Starting by the River Danube, Újbuda has a local, residential vibe with plenty of cozy cafés to fuel up before you set off.

The route is about 14.5 km and mostly sticks to cycleways and quiet roads—so it’s both scenic and stress-free. You’ll pedal past classic Budapest landmarks, probably catching glimpses of the city’s famous bridges and Parliament building along the way. Expect a little bit of ascent (about 137 meters), but nothing too steep, and most of the path is smooth asphalt.

As you roll into Budapest’s XIII. kerület (Angyalföld), you’ll notice a buzzier pace, green spaces like Margaret Island nearby, and plenty of spots to relax or grab a snack. Whether you’re commuting or soaking up the urban scenery, this route gives you a cool cross-section of Budapest living.
