Rowerowa z Budapest IV. kerület do Szentendre

Looking for a great day ride from Budapest? This route takes you from Budapest’s IV. kerület (Újpest) up to the charming riverside town of Szentendre. It’s about 19.6 km of mostly pleasant cycling, following the Danube bend with gentle elevation – only about 56 meters of climbing in total.

You’ll start out in Újpest, a lively residential district known for its green spaces and local markets. The route is very bike-friendly: almost half is dedicated cycleways, the rest on peaceful side roads, with a bit of variety from concrete to cobblestone stretches to keep things interesting. Most of the ride is paved, so it’s smooth pedaling.

As you roll into Szentendre, you’ll feel like you’ve discovered a Mediterranean gem. The town is famous for its colorful baroque houses, art galleries, and riverside cafes. It’s the perfect spot to reward yourself with an ice cream or a slice of cake before heading home.

Saddle up, take it easy, and enjoy one of the prettiest rides along the Danube!
