À vélo de Sector 4 à Popeşti-Leordeni

A quick, flat hop from Bucharest’s Sector 4 to Popești-Leordeni, perfect for an easy spin or a relaxed commute. You’ll roll for about 6 km on almost entirely paved surfaces, with the route favoring quiet neighborhood streets and access roads—only a very short stretch feels busy. Elevation is basically nil, so it’s beginner-friendly and fast.

Starting in Sector 4, you’re in one of Bucharest’s greener districts—home to spots like Carol Park and the Văcărești Nature Park (the “urban delta”), if you want to detour for a view or a breather. The ride heads southeast toward Ilfov County, slipping out of the city feel little by little.

Popești-Leordeni awaits at the finish: a rapidly growing suburb just outside Bucharest, known for new residential areas and a lively commuter vibe. Watch for a couple of larger road crossings near the city edge; otherwise, it’s smooth, asphalt cruising. Great as a weekday connection or a gentle weekend leg-stretcher.
