Sortie rapide à vélo de Budapest II. kerület à Budapest XII. kerület

Ready for a lovely ride across the Buda side? You’ll start in Budapest’s leafy II. kerület (District 2), known for its hills, tranquil vibes, and elegant villas. The route takes you south toward the XII. kerület—also called Hegyvidék, or “Mountainside”—famous for its green spaces and city panoramas.

It’s a manageable 6.3 km spin, mostly on quiet roads with stretches of dedicated cycleway, so you can pedal at your own pace. The surface is mainly smooth asphalt, with a few bits of classic paving stones—just enough to give your route that old-Buda charm. You’ll climb a little (about 75 meters up), but you’ll descend even more, so the ride feels pleasantly breezy as you approach the hills of the XII. kerület.

Don’t miss a quick stop in one of the district’s cozy parks, or treat yourself to coffee at a neighborhood café. You’ll finish in a spot surrounded by forested slopes and peaceful streets—a perfect place to relax after your ride!
