Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Budapest XVII. kerület do Budapest XVI. kerület

This pleasant ride takes you from Budapest’s XVII. kerület (Rákosmente), a tranquil, suburban district known for its green parks and family neighborhoods, over to the XVI. kerület, another leafy, residential area on the city’s edge. The route is just under 10 kilometers—perfect for an easygoing hour-long spin, or a leisurely weekend jaunt.

You’ll spend most of your time on smooth asphalt, with over 70% of the way dedicated to paved cycleways and quiet back roads, making it great for relaxed cycling. Expect gentle ups and downs, with just over 50 meters of ascent and descent—not mountain climbing, but enough to keep things interesting!

The destinations themselves both showcase the quieter, homelike corners of Budapest, far from the downtown bustle. XVI. kerület, known simply as Mátyásföld, offers villa-like residences, pretty gardens, and a laid-back vibe. Perfect for a peaceful pedal and maybe a coffee break to celebrate the finish.
