Danube Cycle Path: Vienna to Budapest
This easy-going cycling tour takes you through Austria, Slovakia and Hungary along the Danube River. From the musical city of Vienna, ride through the towns and villages of Europe's most famous waterway finishing in the fairy tale city of Budapest. Starting from Vienna, begin with an easy-going ride along the River Danube before crossing into Slovakia. First, explore the capital city, Bratislava, where medieval castles meet head-on with socialist-era architecture. Next, cycle along easy-going country lanes to the famous panoramic ‘Danube Bend’ as you head for the fairy tale castles of Budapest. Here Eastern Europe meets Western, and there is plenty to see and do, but if this sounds all too tiring, you may prefer to plump for the customary experience of heading to one of the cities' hot springs and enjoying a long hot soak!
