BEST NATURE RUNS IN BUDAPEST

Run along the Danube - pearl of the danue river.

BUDAPEST – PEARL OF THE DANUBE

Budapest, the capital city of Hungary, is a captivating metropolis renowned for its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture. Nestled along the banks of the majestic Danube River, Budapest is a treasure trove of historical landmarks, vibrant neighborhoods, and scenic vistas.

The city’s history dates back over a millennium, with roots tracing to the Roman Empire. Originally two separate cities, Buda and Pest, they were united in 1873 to form Budapest. Throughout the centuries, Budapest has been shaped by various rulers, including the Romans, Ottomans, Habsburgs, and Soviets, each leaving their indelible mark on the city’s landscape and culture.

One of Budapest’s most iconic landmarks is the Buda Castle, perched atop Castle Hill on the western bank of the Danube. This majestic fortress, with its centuries-old history, offers panoramic views of the city and houses several museums and galleries showcasing Hungarian art and history.

Adjacent to Buda Castle lies the Fisherman’s Bastion, a fairytale-like structure with seven turrets offering breathtaking views of the Danube and the Parliament building. This neo-Gothic terrace is adorned with ornate staircases, arches, and statues, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists.

Speaking of the Parliament building, it stands as one of the most impressive structures along the Danube. With its neo-Gothic architecture and intricate details, the Parliament is a symbol of Hungary’s rich heritage and political importance. Guided tours allow visitors to explore its opulent interiors, including the Hungarian Crown Jewels.

Crossing the Danube, the Chain Bridge connects Buda and Pest and is one of Budapest’s most recognizable landmarks. Built in the 19th century, this suspension bridge offers stunning views of the river and the city skyline, especially when illuminated at night.

Budapest is also renowned for its thermal baths, which are a testament to its rich spa culture dating back to Roman times. The Széchenyi Thermal Bath, located in City Park, is the largest medicinal bath in Europe and features a stunning Neo-Baroque architecture. Visitors can relax in its thermal pools, saunas, and steam rooms, immersing themselves in centuries-old wellness traditions.

So, whether wandering the cobblestone streets of Castle Hill, soaking in the healing waters of its thermal baths, or marveling at its iconic landmarks, Budapest promises an unforgettable experience steeped in history and charm.

Budapest ‘Runseeing Tour’

budapest running tour

Categories:

  • Routes With Videos

Most of our Budapest routes incorporate some aspect of what a visitor to Budapest would want to see, but this is a comprehensive ‘Budapest Tour’, modeled after the course of the popular Telekom Vivicitta Half Marathon. There are a couple of modifications, due to our inability to affect the same road closures :). Use this route as a guide, or make modifications to the 21k (13 mile) distance.

budapest running tour

Modification/Alternative Options : Clearly, this is a long run. Divided it into a couple of runs, or cut some sections. A couple of good options:

  • Do a loop or one-way starting at Gellert Hill in Buda, then to the Buda Castle, and along the Danube to Margaret Island. Then back on the Pest side of the Danube
  • Reduce some of the river running, especially on the Buda side
  • Leave the Buda option for a another day, and enjoy the main streets of Pest, with a riverside section
  • You could do a great ~10k by starting in City Park, and just using the river sections between Liberty Bridge and Chain Bridge, saving the other Danube sections for another day.

Video Highlights: Budapest Tour (12 min.) virtualfitnesstv.com

  • 21 km (13.1 miles), with modification options
  • 631 feet if full course taken
  • City Park (Varosliget)
  • Subway: M1 Hősök tere

Let me show you the hidden tracks of the Buda hills! From the top you will get a unique panorama of Budapest as a reward.

Continuing our route, we arrive to a paragliders’ starting point, offering a spectacular view. After a short uphill stint we get to the top of the hill to admire an amazing scenery. Our downhill back to the start leads through small single tracks.

After a 4 km warm up around Hárs hill, we climb to the highest point of the Buda hills and admire a fantastic 360-degree panorama from the Elisabeth lookout tower. After a longer downhill, and a nice single track, we taste the best strudel in town as a tribute to the local art of pastry making.

the Citadel and the iconic Statue of Liberty

Set yourself free!

approx. 7km / 4.4mi

Up and down to the Statue of Liberty

We stop for taking a picture at the Citadel and the iconic Statue of Liberty, before we descend on the other side of the hill. We make a detour at the Philosophers’ Garden and at the Statue of St. Gellért. Finally, we return to our starting point on a wonderful, scenic track.
