Gita in bici di un giorno da Voluntari a Sector 6

This cycling route takes you from Voluntari, a vibrant suburb just outside Bucharest known for its leafy streets and fast-growing neighborhoods, all the way into the heart of Sector 6 on the city’s west side. Expect a pretty leisurely ride: about 33 km with only mild ascents and good paved surfaces for the most part—nearly 90% of the time you’ll cruise along smooth roads or asphalt.

What’s nice about this ride is that most of your journey (around two thirds) follows quiet roads, so you can relax and enjoy the scenery. There’s a bit of everything thrown in—some short stretches on cycleways, a few access roads, and just a pinch of busy traffic as you near the city center.

Voluntari itself offers a mix of modern developments and parks, while Sector 6 is famous for its student vibe, big urban parks like Parcul Drumul Taberei, and local markets. The route is mostly flat with a gentle climb here and there, making it ideal for a chill weekend spin or even a commuting adventure across Bucharest. Don’t forget your water bottle!
