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

Set off from Budapest’s XIX. kerület (Kispest), a residential neighborhood that’s as local as it gets, with tree-lined streets and the city’s historic Wekerletelep garden estate nearby. This city ride to Budapest IX. kerület (Ferencváros)—a lively district best known for its creative spaces, riverside promenades, and the Groupama Arena—covers about 10 km on mostly smooth, paved roads.

It’s a laid-back journey; the route is pretty flat, with barely 20 meters of ascent—so no leg-busting climbs here! Most of your ride rolls along quiet roads and designated cycleways, making it beginner-friendly. You’ll start by weaving through residential Kispest, gradually moving north into the urban buzz of Ferencváros, where bars, university buildings, and green spaces blend together.

Perfect for a breezy commute or a low-stress city cruise, this route lets you see two very different sides of Budapest without ever dodging too much traffic.
