Explore Budapest on two wheels in one day
Change language:
We have already shared a few tricks and tips for riding a bike in Budapest, and we also introduced the two most popular bike-sharing services in the capital: the Donkey Republic and MOL Bubi. This time, we decided to plan a whole day for you to explore Budapest on two wheels in one day.
Start: City Park
The perfect starting point is the city park. Before you hop on your bike, you can walk around the park, maybe even drink a glass of lemonade or fröccs at the popular ruin bar Kertem, which is basically like drinking in your own backyard.
There is both a MOL Bubi and a Donkey Republic bike station in the city park, so you can rent your vehicle for the day right then and there if you do not own one already. You can cycle around the park before heading off to the city.
Downtown sights
From the city park, start cycling in the direction of Hero Square, then ride along Andrássy Avenue. These are two main sights of Budapest right at the beginning. (If you feel like it, you can check out the House of Terror Museum on the way; however, that is quite a long detour.) Even though there is no separate bike path, a separate road goes parallel with Andrássy Avenue, where it is safe to bike, and you still get to enjoy everything the avenue has to offer.
You should turn right when you reach Bajza street, and ride straight towards the banks of the Danube. While you are approaching the banks, you will see quiet and calm streets that have a very Mediterranean vibe to them. This way, you get to see another side of Budapest in contrast with the busy Grand Boulevard. When you reach the so-called rakpart (quay), you can continue your journey on the bike path that goes along the river bank.
