About this experience
Unique bicycle program starting from Downtown and leading up to the Buda Hills and the highest point of Budapest. Don't be afraid, we take the cog railway to climb up. You will leave the typical tourist areas and discover places where the locals go. Amazing views, nature, and even on hot summer days fresh air in the forest. Downhill we go on a closed road and a forest trail.
We do not recommend this tour for beginners in bicycle riding, but you do not have to be a mountain bike professional for enjoying it. Safety first! If you want to bring children please contact us in advance.
