Cycling in Budapest

Budapest is a bike-friendly city, with dedicated bike lanes and bike-sharing programs that make it easy to explore on two wheels. Cycling is a great way to cover more ground than walking while still enjoying the fresh air and scenery. You can rent bikes from various rental shops throughout the city or use the city’s bike-sharing system called MOL Bubi, which allows you to pick up and drop off bikes at various docking stations around town. 

The MOL Bubi bike sharing system is a popular mode of transportation for both locals and tourists alike. With over 125 docking stations strategically located throughout the city, you’re never too far from a Bubi bike.

Using the service is incredibly simple. All you need to do is purchase a pass, which can be done online or at any of the docking stations using a credit card. Passes are available for various durations, ranging from a single 30-minute ride to a full week, catering to the needs of both short-term visitors and those staying longer.

Once you have your pass, simply locate the nearest docking station, unlock a bike using the terminal or the MOL Bubi app, and you’re ready to explore. The bikes are sturdy and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable ride as you weave through Budapest’s charming neighborhoods, parks, and iconic landmarks.

For those concerned about navigating the city’s streets, MOL Bubi provides a handy map on their website and app, highlighting the locations of all docking stations and offering suggested routes for sightseeing.
