Quick ride by bicycle from Budapest XIV. kerület to Budapest XIX. kerület

Looking for a chill ride across Budapest? Start your journey in the XIV. kerület (that’s Zugló for locals)—a green, relaxed neighborhood known for Budapest’s iconic City Park and the Széchenyi Thermal Baths. This route takes you south for just over 11 km down to XIX. kerület (Kispest), a classic residential district with a friendly, down-to-earth vibe.

You’ll spend much of your ride on designated cycleways and quiet roads, cruising along mostly flat terrain—only a mild ascent and descent to speak of, so it’s easy on the legs. The route is mostly asphalt and smoothly paved, with just a tiny 7% of the surface “missing” (maybe an adventurous little patch or two!). Along the way, you’ll catch glimpses of everyday Budapest life—neighborhood cafés, local parks, and maybe even a market or food truck or two.

Finish your ride in Kispest, known for its old-school market hall and connection to Budapest sports history. It’s the perfect place to grab a leisurely lángos or coffee before heading back—or exploring more by bike!
