We know what you have to do once you are here

Our vibrant capital, Budapest

Budapest is a city built for a race weekend – solo, with friends, or with the whole crew in town. There's something for everyone here, on race day and around it.

You can take it in from the Gellért Hill or from the street. The metro or a shared bicycle gets you anywhere fast, but for a different angle, hop on a Duna cruise and watch the city go by from the water.

Here's what you'll find on this page:

  • Where to stay
  • Getting around
  • Icons worth seeing
  • Things to do
  • Where to eat and drink coffee

...and more.

See you at the finish line, Budapest.

  • MOL Bubi

    Budapest's city bike network covers a fairly large area. Good for scouting the course before race day.

  • Bus

    Several bus lines, these blue and red colored giants roaming the city day n night, don't need to worry if you can't get home by walk.

  • Tram

    Take the Line 2 for the most beautiful view in our city you can imagine.

  • Metro lines

    Budapest has 4 metro lines, covering the whole city and outer areas as well. It's the most convenient and fastest transportation. Take the yellow, M1 line to for some old-school vibes.
