Itinerary

Your adventure begins as we pedal along the picturesque Duna Corso, one of Budapest's most iconic riverside promenades. As you glide along the banks of the Danube, take in the breathtaking views of the Buda side of the city, including the majestic Gellért Hill and the towering Liberty Statue. The promenade is dotted with historic landmarks, such as the Vigadó Concert Hall, and numerous statues commemorating Hungary's past. Our guide will share stories of the promenade's history, its role in the city’s development, and its significance during pivotal moments in Hungarian history. This area is perfect for a quick photo stop, allowing you to capture the essence of Budapest with the Danube River and Buda Castle in the background.

Next, we make our way to the Elizabeth Bridge, a vital connection between Buda and Pest. As we pause on the bridge, you'll be treated to panoramic views of both sides of the city. The guide will delve into the history of the bridge, named after Queen Elizabeth, and explain its reconstruction after being destroyed during World War II. This stop is ideal for a brief historical overview, and a chance to appreciate the architectural contrasts between the modern bridge and the historic structures that surround it. Feel free to ask questions about the bridge's significance or snap a few photos of the scenic vistas.

After crossing the river, we'll climb up to the Castle District, where you'll be rewarded with one of the most stunning views of Budapest. The district is home to the Buda Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Matthias Church, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. As we stop to catch our breath, the guide will share tales of the district’s medieval origins, royal residents, and its strategic importance throughout history. This is your opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Hungary’s past, explore the cobblestone streets, and take photos of the sweeping panorama of Pest, the Danube, and the Chain Bridge.
