What To Expect

To start with, it's easy to find our bike rental office as it's situated just behind the Opera House on the elegant Andrassy Boulevard. Because the Pest side of the city is pretty flat, then a laid back cruiser does the job effortlessly. So chill as you cruise downtown past the St Stephen's Basilica, the Parliament and the Great Market Hall. Sedately make your way up to Heroes’ Square and the tranquil City Park. Breeze across the Margaret Bridge and  enjoy the airey calmness of nature on the ever green and welcoming Margaret Island. Take it easy cycling along the Danube promenade watching the river boats and looking over the waters to the majestic Buda Castle and the pretty hills beyond. Keep in mind that you can hang on to the bikes overnight. At the approach of dusk and as the cities illuminations ensue, you’ll see it transform into a scene from a childhood fairy tale. On the other hand, if your plans are to explore the Buda Hills or maybe take a day trip out of the city, then a multi geared trekking bike might do a better job.

Whatever your intentions, we'll have you sorted in no time with the most suitable equipment for your needs. Because, let's face it, your safety is directly tied to your comfort. As a matter of course, we'll also provide you with helmets and bike locks, along with all the information and local knowledge you'll be needing to to pass an enjoyable time catching the wind in your hair and flies in your teeth.
