Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Bratislava à Mosonmagyaróvár

This ride takes you from vibrant Bratislava, Slovakia’s colorful riverside capital, to the historic spa town of Mosonmagyaróvár in Hungary—a perfect cross-border adventure! The route covers about 45 km, mostly on smooth paved and asphalt cycleways (so it’s a great option if you prefer to avoid traffic and rough roads).

You’ll start near the Danube in Bratislava, known for its medieval old town and grand Bratislava Castle overlooking the river. The path quickly leaves the bustle behind, tracing south through flat countryside and quiet villages. Watch as the landscape changes, with the Little Carpathians fading in your rearview mirror and open fields stretching ahead.

After crossing into Hungary, you’ll roll into Mosonmagyaróvár, famous for its thermal spas and charming Baroque architecture. The town is nicknamed “the city of 17 bridges”—so you might spot a few as you cruise in! With less than 150 meters of climbing on the way, this route is approachable for most cyclists and is all about enjoying a relaxed, scenic pedal across borders. Don’t forget your passport for the crossing, and maybe plan a post-ride soak at the spa!
