By bicycle from Óbuda-Békásmegyer to Budakalász

Here’s a scenic and easy-going cycling route starting from Óbuda-Békásmegyer, one of Budapest’s northern districts, and winding up in Budakalász. This 11.6 km ride is mostly on paved surfaces (about 85%, mostly asphalt), making it a great option for city bikes or hybrids. The route stays mostly flat, with a gentle ascent of just over 50 meters, so you won’t be huffing and puffing up any serious hills.

You’ll start in Óbuda-Békásmegyer—a district packed with Roman history and cute cobbled streets—before heading north along peaceful, quiet roads and safe cycle paths. The ride is pretty relaxed, passing through suburban neighborhoods and occasional green spots, so you can enjoy the scenery rather than dodge traffic.

After about an hour and a half at an easy pace, you’ll roll into Budakalász, a charming small town nestled against the Pilis hills. It’s a great place to grab a coffee or stop by the Lupa Lake if you fancy a dip. Perfect for a breezy weekend outing!
