Gita in bici di un giorno da Siófok a Balatonalmádi

Set off from Siófok, the unofficial “capital” of Lake Balaton’s southern shore, famous for its lively summer vibes and historic water tower. The route to Balatonalmádi is a relaxed 38 km, mostly on smooth, paved surfaces (hello 91% paved!), so you’ll get to cruise comfortably without worrying about rough roads. It’s mainly on quiet side roads and proper cycleways, making it ideal for a chill ride with lots of great lake views.

You’ll gently climb just over 200 meters in total, so it’s not too strenuous—perfect for casual cyclists or anyone looking to soak in the scenery instead of sweating every hill. As you approach Balatonalmádi, look out for red-roofed villas and beaches that invite you to park the bike and dip your toes in the water.

Both towns are Balaton favorites, so along the way, don’t be shy about stopping for a lángos or an ice cream. Bring your camera—between Siófok’s bustling promenades and Balatonalmádi’s peaceful shore, there’s plenty to capture!
