Margit-sziget

From Margaret Bridge we suggest to you to enter Margarete Island. Actually you could spend the whole day there, but your target will be to continue to Buda-Side of the city, Old-Buda and the Roman Beach. On Margaret Island private car traffic is prohibited, but take care on the public busses and pedestrians ! Some bars are located on the river bank, some cafes will be on your way and a wonderful scenery. Continue to Arpad Bridge in the north of the island, pass under the bridge and turn up to the bicycle way which leads you on the bridge to Buda.

Lupa Beach (pass by)

If you are really focussed on reaching Szentendre then you will pass the lake on the bicycle way. But it is also great to spend the day at the Lupa lake - just than you shall postpone your trip to Szentendre to another day !!

Szentendre

Szentendre is a beautiful settlement at the Danube ca. 25 km north of Budapest. It offers a mediterranean atmosphere and houses artists. Originally Serb & Croat settlement, therefore with a huge Serb church. The best is to park the bicycles somewhere at the river and make a walk through the pedestrian area.
