Quick ride by bicycle from Budapest XXII. kerület to Diósd

Here’s a nice short cycling route that takes you from Budapest’s XXII. kerület (Budafok-Tétény), a quieter outer district on the Buda side, out towards the charming suburb of Diósd. You’ll ride just under 11 kilometers, mostly on peaceful roads and stretches of cycleway, making it a laid-back journey—perfect for a weekend morning spin.

Expect gentle rolling terrain with almost 100 meters of ascent—enough for a bit of exercise without any real climbing drama. Most of the ride is on smooth asphalt, so your wheels will thank you, though there’s a tiny section where the surface is a mystery. Not to worry, it’s a small detour from the otherwise well-paved route.

Budafok is famous for its wine cellars and heritage buildings, while Diósd offers a relaxed, green vibe at the city’s edge—ideal if you want to escape the city rush. This route is great for anyone looking to unwind and experience the changing scenery from city to suburb without battling heavy traffic. Enjoy the fresh air and maybe grab some fresh pastries in Diósd before heading back!
