À vélo de Budapest III. kerület à Budapest II. kerület

Starting off in Óbuda-Békásmegyer, one of Budapest’s oldest neighborhoods with its classic Roman ruins and chilled Danube views, this ride takes you south into the leafy embrace of Budapest II. kerület (District 2). It’s a pretty relaxed 8.5 km cruise—mainly on quiet roads and smooth asphalt, with a bit of charming paving stone thrown in for character.

You’ll climb a little (about 128 meters total ascent), so expect some gentle uphill stretches as you get closer to the scenic hills of District 2, famous for their villa-lined streets and green parks. The route is mostly on well-kept surfaces with dedicated cycleways for a big chunk of the trip, making it beginner-friendly. Along the way, you’ll get a taste of Budapest’s quieter, residential side, a nice break from downtown bustle.

Rolling into District 2, you’ll notice the change from urban sprawl to more upmarket and leafy surroundings. Perfect for a weekend ride or a relaxed commute—and don’t forget to treat yourself to a kávé at one of the cozy local spots when you arrive!
