What are we going to see?

Hop on a bike and let the good wind blow through your hair while we discover Budapest when the city is aglow from lit up bridges and monuments! On this leisurely ride we’ll pedal down the river bank to make sure that you catch a glimpse of both Buda and Pest reflecting against the stillness of the Danube. We’ll cross Margaret and Liberty bridge, soak up the atmosphere and see the Buda Castle and the Parliament when it’s most enchanting: after dark. Of course we’ll also show you where Budapesters go out to have a good time 😉 Don’t worry, instead of overloading you with mind-numbing dates we prefer sharing all the basic info, fun facts and insider stories with you. At Budabike, safety comes first, that is why we cycle on bike lanes whenever possible and avoid roads with heavy traffic. Get up close and personal with Budapest – by bike!
