We offer a range of cycling holidays that follow the Danube River from Austria and Slovakia, to the Hungarian capital Budapest, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful capital cities in the world.
Choose whether to start from Passau, on the German/Austrian border, or the Austrian capital, Vienna. You can also choose between a bike and boat holiday, where you live on board a river cruiser, or the traditional route, staying in hotels along the way. Budapest is a fascinating city comprising of two distinct halves, Buda on the west bank and Pest on the east. Both have retained their own individual characters and are sure to beguile and enthrall with their history and culture.
Our easy cycling holidays offer short daily rides on mostly level terrain. A typical day’s ride will take 2 – 3 hours at a leisurely pace and the remainder of the day will be free for you to explore further or simply relax. These rides are particularly recommended for newcomers to cycling holidays and for families.
Our leisurely cycle holidays will suit those who are reasonably fit through regular exercise of one kind or another – not necessarily cycling. On the whole, the terrain will be level but there may also be a few small hills to contend with along the way too. Daily rides will typically take around 3 – 4 hours to complete.
Our moderate cycle holidays are for regular cyclists, who are used to longer rides with regular climbs. A good level of fitness is needed and you can expect to be in the saddle for between 4 and 5 hours each day.
These holidays are for seasoned cyclists who cycle long distances regularly and who enjoy the thrill of long days in the saddle. There will undoubtedly be some challenging climbs along the way and you can expect to cover between 55 and 75 miles each day.
