Enjoy a relaxed afternoon cycling tour through the heart of Budapest. On select days, the road along the Danube is closed to motor traffic, offering a peaceful route with stunning views of Castle Hill, iconic bridges, and the majestic Parliament building. You’ll also visit Margaret Island, a tranquil park in the middle of the river.

Starting in the lively Jewish Quarter, you’ll ride through quiet downtown streets to the Danube, where the car-free road becomes a festive riverside promenade. As you pedal upstream, you’ll pass the Parliament and the moving Shoes on the Danube Bank memorial. Crossing Margaret Bridge, you’ll reach Margaret Island and its romantic music fountain, perfect for a restful break.

The tour continues across the bridge to Buda via a dedicated cycle path. The Danube Bicycle Trail leads you downstream, with photo opportunities against the Parliament’s impressive backdrop. Depending on the season, the city may be illuminated with twinkling lights. You’ll cross the recently renovated Chain Bridge and return to the city centre, stopping at Elisabeth Square and its towering Ferris wheel before heading back to the Jewish Quarter. The evening is yours to enjoy Budapest’s vibrant nightlife.
