Gita in bici di un giorno da Szentendre a Visegrád

Get ready for a gorgeous ride from the artsy riverside town of Szentendre to the historic fortress town of Visegrád! The route is around 21 km and, while it’s mostly along quiet, paved roads, you’ll get a bit of everything—gravel, cobbles, and a dash of unpaved adventure. Expect some solid climbing: the hills here will get your heart pumping, but the rolling Danube views are worth every pedal stroke.

You’ll start in Szentendre, famous for its colorful baroque houses and thriving art scene—maybe grab an espresso before you set off. Then, trace the river valley northwards, weaving through leafy woodlands and sleepy riverside villages. As you approach Visegrád, be prepared for a few steeper stretches (max elevation just under 500 meters), but soon you’ll catch sight of the iconic Visegrád Castle perched above the Danube Bend.

Visegrád is perfect for a post-ride break: climb up to the medieval fortress for panoramic views, or just chill at a riverside café. Don’t forget your camera—this route is as scenic as Hungary gets!
