Excursión ciclista de un día de Budapest II. kerület a Szentendre

This ride starts in Budapest’s leafy and upscale II. kerület (District 2), known for its quiet residential streets, embassies, and easy-going vibe—perfect for an early morning rollout. From here, you’ll make your way north, sticking close to the west bank of the Danube, following a mostly paved and scenic route.

Much of this 29 km route takes you along purpose-built cycleways and quiet roads, so you can relax and soak up the rolling countryside and glimpses of the river. There’s a steady but gentle climb early on (about 106 meters of ascent), balanced out with more descent as you near your destination. Surface-wise, expect mainly smooth asphalt, with the occasional patch of cobbles or paving stones adding a bit of character.

Your destination, Szentendre, is a charming riverside town famous for its colorful houses, art galleries, and vibrant café scene—a great spot to refuel with coffee and a slice of cake. All in all, it’s a leisurely ride with a wonderful blend of urban atmosphere, nature, and a picturesque finish.
