Gita in bici di un giorno da Strigonio a Budapest VII. kerület

Get ready for an iconic riverside ride from Esztergom to Budapest’s buzzing VII. kerület (Erzsébetváros)! You’ll roll out from the historical city of Esztergom, known for its gorgeous basilica (the biggest in Hungary!) perched right by the Danube. The route stretches about 93 km and is mostly smooth sailing, with over 90% paved surface and gentle ups and downs—so it’s relaxed enough for most keen cyclists.

A big chunk of your ride hugs the Danube, giving you classic views of river life and rolling hills. The route follows cycleways and quiet roads for much of the way, which keeps things calm and scenic.

As you close in on Budapest, the city vibe will gradually build. Your destination – VII. kerület, or Erzsébetváros – is one of the capital’s liveliest districts, famous for its ruin bars, great food spots, and vibrant street art. Whether you’re after culture, nightlife, or a good coffee, you’ll find it here.

A fun blend of countryside, riverside, and urban – this ride is a classic for anyone wanting the “best of both worlds” between Hungary’s historic heart and its bustling capital!
