Rowerowa z Budapest IV. kerület do Budapest XIV. kerület

Here’s a convenient city ride that’ll take you from Budapest’s IV. kerület (Újpest), a lively residential district in the northern part of the city, all the way down to the XIV. kerület (Zugló), known for its leafy avenues and the extensive City Park. The distance is just under 8 km—you’ll be pedaling mostly on cycleways (about 60% of the route!), so it’s a great choice if you prefer to avoid traffic.

Most of the ride is nice and smooth, mostly paved and asphalt, though be ready for some patches with paving stones and the occasional bit where bike-specific infrastructure is missing. There’s hardly any climbing (less than 15 meters in ascent overall), making it a relaxed journey even if you’re not feeling super sporty.

Starting in Újpest, you’ll pass through urban neighborhoods, possibly catching glimpses of the Danube if you make a slight detour. Your destination, Zugló, is home to Budapest’s City Park, perfect for a post-ride stroll or grabbing a lángos. All in all, it’s a city ride with minimal hassle—just hop on your saddle and enjoy Budapest from a local’s perspective.
