Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Budapest II. kerület do Budakeszi

Ready for a scenic ride out of the city? Start your cycling journey in Budapest’s leafy II. kerület (District 2), famous for its villa neighborhoods and hilly scenery. As you head west, you’ll quickly leave the busy city behind and climb into the Buda Hills—be prepared for a good workout with about 418 meters of ascent!

The route’s around 15 km, mostly on quiet roads with a mix of smooth asphalt, some paving stones, and a few short stretches of gravel and natural paths. Expect a gentle mix of urban streets, shady woodland lanes, and open viewpoints. A highlight: catch your breath at the highest point (481 meters!) and enjoy the view across the hills.

Your destination is Budakeszi, a charming small town known as a gateway to the Budai-hegység nature areas. Stop for coffee or a pastry in one of the local bakeries, or check out the Budakeszi Wildlife Park nearby if you have time. This ride is a perfect half-day adventure for anyone wanting to escape the city bustle and dive into some green spaces around Budapest!
