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

Enjoy an easygoing ride from Budapest’s XVI. district to the heart of Zugló in the XIV. kerület. This route is about 7.2 km long, so it’s perfect for a leisurely afternoon spin or a quick commute. Most of the way is on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, so you can expect a pretty relaxed journey with just a few gentle ups and downs (less than 10 meters of ascent—your legs will thank you).

You’ll start in a peaceful, residential neighborhood known for its suburban feel and leafy streets. As you pedal west, the vibe gradually shifts toward the lively, urban energy of Zugló—famous for its green spaces like City Park (Városliget) and landmarks such as the Budapest Zoo and Heroes’ Square nearby.

Surfaces are mostly paved and smooth, though you might hit some paving stones along the way (think a little old-school Budapest charm). All in all, this ride offers a nice mix of calm streets and city sights, wrapping up in an area where there’s always something to explore or a good café to drop into.
