Self-Guided Cycling Holidays in Hungary

Discover Hungary at your own pace on an immersive self guided bike tour

With its scenic countryside, medieval villages, ancient castles and cultured cities brimming with historic architecture, Hungary should be high on your European wish list. Cycle along the banks of the beautiful Danube, passing tiny islands, vineyards and small farming villages as you ride through the idyllic Hungarian countryside; and explore the churches, palaces and cobbled laneways of Gyor, halfway between Budapest and Vienna and brimming with medieval history and elegant architecture.

Discover the allure of Budapest, Hungary’s magnificent capital, with its ancient chapels and historic palaces, cobblestoned backstreets and elegant plazas. Soak up European history in museums and monuments, enjoy gourmet cuisine and hip nightlife, take a relaxing soak in one of the city’s famous bathhouses or simply sit in a café on the Danube and watch the world go by.

Our unique self-guided cycling holidays are tailored to get you deep into the heart of Hungary and her gorgeous neighbours, exploring both the key highlights and lesser-visited trails at your own pace. Have a browse and start planning your next bike trip!

Visas

Visas not required for citizens of Australia, Canada, USA and New Zealand for up to 90 days in a period of 180 days for all Schengen countries (see https://tinyurl.com/lkho3qg for countries part of the Schengen). Please ensure your passport is stamped on arrival in the Schengen area. For all other nationalities and for longer stays in countries covered by the Schengen Agreement (Australian New Zealand, Canadian and US passport holders), please contact the relevant embassy. Stays of longer than 90 days in the Schengen area require a long stay visa for the country you are spending most time in. However long stay visas are unlikely to be issued unless there is a valid reason (eg. studying in country). Unfortunately we cannot assist in obtaining visas for long stays due to individual country visa requirements.

Safety

Your safety is our number one concern. Our safety track record is exemplary thanks to careful management and thorough consultation with local partners. Our industry leading risk management procedures have become a skill that we continue to refine. Our leaders in the field are highly trained and have safety as their number one priority. Expert leaders, risk assessments, quality inclusions and your financial security all come standard when you travel with us.

Please refer to our Travel Advisory page for updates on recent events, travel warnings and advice.

We strongly recommend that all clients take out travel insurance at the time of booking to cover against sickness, accident, loss of baggage, unexpected alterations to travel arrangements and travel disruption, emergency evacuation, cancellations, etc. Insurance information is enclosed with your pre-departure information. Please contact us if you would like to obtain a quote for your trip duration.

We suggest that you consult your doctor, local government inoculation centre or a travel medical specialist in order to get the most current advice regarding vaccination requirements.

Money and valuables should always be stored safely when travelling. Keep your passport with you at all times and do not leave it in your main luggage. You will need it to change money and check into hotels. Where safety deposit boxes are available, we recommend that you use them. Keep jewellery and valuables to a minimum.
