About this experience
On this Budapest bike tour, we’ll show you all the important sights of Pest on an easy-paced ride. From the river bank we’ll make sure that you catch a glimpse of beautiful Buda, too. Instead of overloading you with mind-numbing dates we prefer sharing all the basic info, fun facts and insider stories with you. We’ll pass 2 UNESCO- World Heritage Sites on our tour and see much more than that on our way. Most importantly, 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!
