Meet your guide in central Budapest, put on your provided helmet, and hop on your bike to start your full-day tour. Plenty of stops are factored in to your route, allowing you to listen to your guide’s commentary, and snap photos of key sites and the countryside, too.
Gain insight into Budapest’s modern-day history with a stop at Liberty Square, and continue past the eye-catching Hungarian Parliament Building (Orszaghaz) with its intricately detailed façade. Cross the Margaret Bridge to Margaret Island, and wend your way to charming Old Buda (Obuda), from where your journey to Szentendre begins.
Following the Danube River, pass along cycle paths that weave through a variety of terrain; fields, forests and beaches are all covered on your ride. Soak up the scenery as you cycle, and rest during a short break in one of the many bars or cafes that pepper the route. Food and drinks are at your own expense.
In the early afternoon, arrive in Szentendre, leave your bike and take a stroll along the town’s cobblestone streets with your guide. See a selection of the classic sights, and refuel from your ride with Hungarian lángos, a moreish — if belt-busting — snack of fried bread, topped with sour cream and cheese. Then, make the most of some free time to see the town’s galleries, shops and churches at your own pace.
Finish your time in Szentendre with a leisurely cycle to the town’s pier, and then board a riverboat to travel back to Budapest. Your tour ends in downtown Budapest, near the city pier.
