Budapest Bike Tours

Hungary’s charms will have you hooked on this Central European gem: discover a long history of Ottoman invasions and Habsburg rule, rejuvenate in the healing waters of natural thermal lakes, or indulge in hearty Hungarian cuisine and free-flowing beer. Dubbed the ‘Heart of Europe’ due to its central location and position as a crossroads between many European powers and influences, Hungary is the perfect base from which to venture out into further regions of Central Europe, or to take a day tour around Budapest, known as the ‘Pearl of the Danube’.

Stop in the country’s capital, Budapest, to discover a dynamic city on the banks of the Danube that melds breathtaking historic heritage and lively contemporary culture. Take the Budapest Highlights Bike Tour to see the very best of the city’s sightseeing. Ride to the resplendent Hungarian Parliament building and the UNESCO status Andrassy Street, one of Budapest’s primary cultural hubs. To cycle through the city at its most enchanting, take the Budapest by Night Bike Tour, where you’ll ride over the illuminated Chain Bridge and watch the shimmering reflections of the city’s lights on the Danube’s glassy surface.

    Hungary’s long history saw the country occupied by various powers: from the destructive but ultimately unsuccessful Mongol invasions of the 13th century, to the centuries-long conflict of the Ottoman-Hungarian Wars. Most recently, Hungary endured a period of communist rule under the Soviet Union, before a peaceful transition to a democratic system in 1989. Discover this history first hand on the Budapest Retro-Communist Bike Tour, stopping at Kossuth Square, where the 1956 revolution began, and at Margaret Island, a site of leisure designed for the working class.

    Beyond Budapest, Hungary’s scenic sights and traditional villages beckon. Visit Lake Balaton, affectionately called the ‘Hungarian Sea’, or explore the picturesque Danube Bend, where the river weaves through verdant hills and past medieval towns like Visegrád and Esztergom. Stop off in small villages to discover vital folk traditions, from intricate dances to colorful costumes that keep the country’s rich cultural heritage alive. From the elegance of its capital to the folk culture of its countryside, Hungary offers an exceptional blend of history, culture, and natural splendor to be discovered by bicycle.
