Excursión ciclista de un día de Budapest XI. kerület a Budakeszi

Ready for a scenic Budapest ride? Set off from Újbuda—a lively, green district on the Buda side of the Danube, known for its relaxed vibe and great cafés. Your journey covers just over 20 km, rolling west into the leafy heights beyond the city, with a good 500+ meters of climbing (get ready for some leg burn!).

You’ll enjoy mostly quiet roads and smooth cycleways as you ride, though a chunk of the route brings you onto a mix of asphalt, paving stones, and even some unpaved stretches, so a sturdy bike is helpful. As you leave the city bustle behind, you’ll head up into the Buda hills—look out for sweeping views and fresh forest air.

The route wraps up in Budakeszi, a cute town nestled on the edge of the Budai-hegyek (Buda Hills). It’s not just a commuter suburb—Budakeszi is a gateway to hiking, a wildlife park, and cozy local restaurants. Swing by for an ice cream or a hearty Hungarian lunch before heading back (or hop the bus with your bike if you’re done climbing!).
