More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You begin in the Jewish Quarter, sunlight angling off tram tracks while the city's heartbeat — voices, trams, the Danube tugging at the edges — sets your cadence. A guide fits your bike, runs a quick safety check and you roll past graffiti-lined alleys, the Moorish arches of the Great Synagogue and the music-halls on Liszt Ferenc Square.
