In bici da Budapest III. kerület a Budapest XII. kerület

This ride kicks off in Óbuda-Békásmegyer, a charming district in northern Budapest famous for its Roman history and laid-back riverfront vibes. You’ll roll out mostly on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways—perfect for a relaxed spin without too much traffic stress. The route keeps things smooth with almost all of the way paved or asphalt, though you’ll briefly tap into a few paving stones and cobblestone sections (just enough to keep it interesting!).

Over about 11 kilometers, you’ll pedal your way south toward the leafy Budapest XII. kerület (the 12th district), which is nestled at the foot of the Buda Hills. There’s a steady climb along the way—think gentle rather than punishing, gaining about 130m in elevation—which rewards you with glimpses of the city and a taster of Buda’s greener, more residential side.

Both start and end points are classic spots for exploring: Óbuda with its Roman ruins and cozy terraces, and XII. kerület with elegant villas, parks, and the famed Normafa lookout not far off. A solid urban ride with some suburban scenery—enjoy!
