Quick ride by bicycle from Budapest IX. kerület to Budapest XX. kerület

This ride starts in Budapest’s vibrant IX. kerület (Ferencváros), a district famous for its trendy ruin pubs, cafés, and the beautiful Central Market Hall. You’ll glide mostly on quiet, paved roads, with about 8 km of easy cycling ahead—just enough to feel the breeze without breaking too much of a sweat.

The route heads south and east, gently descending towards the XX. kerület (Pesterzsébet), a laid-back neighborhood with lots of local character and green spaces perfect for a relaxing break. The journey features smooth asphalt almost the whole way, plus a few stretches of classic paving stones that add some character but won’t slow you down much. Traffic is light for most of the route and you’ll even enjoy a section of dedicated cycleway, making this a stress-free ride whether you’re commuting or out for leisure.

When you reach Pesterzsébet, take the time to explore its quiet parks and riverside spots along the Danube—it’s a nice contrast to the bustle you left behind in Ferencváros!
