Giro veloce in bici da Budapest II. kerület a Budapest IX. kerület

This ride takes you from the leafy streets of Budapest’s II. kerület down into the vibrant IX. kerület, known as Ferencváros. Starting in the hilly Buda side, you’ll enjoy a gentle descent as you cruise towards the Danube, dropping over 150 meters in elevation—so get ready for some freewheeling!

Most of your route rolls along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, so it’s a pretty chilled ride with smooth, mostly asphalt surfaces under your tires. In fact, about 83% of the ride is paved, with only a short section over paving stones for that classic Budapest feel.

You’ll pass from the calm, elegant neighborhoods of Buda into bustling Pest, where IX. kerület is famous for its ruin bars, street art, and the massive Central Market Hall. It’s just over 8 km and easy to finish in under an hour, giving you plenty of time to explore when you arrive. Don’t forget your camera—the views crossing the river are iconic. Happy riding!
