Quick ride by bicycle from Budapest XIV. kerület to Óbuda-Békásmegyer

If you’re up for exploring Budapest on two wheels, this route from the green, residential XIV. kerület (District 14, also known as Zugló) to the laid-back Óbuda-Békásmegyer district is a real treat! You’ll roll out from Zugló, known for its big city park (Városliget) and historic villas, and head northwest, cruising about 8.6 kilometers mostly along smooth cycleways and quiet roads—a relaxed ride with just a couple of gentle ups and downs.

Expect a predominantly paved surface (asphalt makes up most of it, so it’s a smooth journey all the way), and enjoy a mostly car-free experience. It’s perfect for everyday cyclists and anyone looking to connect downtown with the riverside vibes of Óbuda. Óbuda itself is one of Budapest’s oldest neighborhoods, with lively squares, Roman ruins, and a chilled-out atmosphere near the Danube—great for grabbing a coffee or unwinding by the river when you arrive.

All in all, it's a fuss-free urban adventure with a mix of classic city sights and neighborhood charm!
