Pedaling beneath an open sky, riders thread between neo‑Renaissance boulevards and the steady curve of the Danube, the river daring you to look away from the city’s wide, layered facades. The climb onto Castle Hill feels sudden but short — electric torque turns the ascent into a slow reveal of red roofs and the Parliament’s lacework along the river.
