Routes and Tours
Bratislava is a great destination for exploring on two wheels. The city offers a growing network of cycling routes, riverside paths and easy connections to the surrounding countryside. Whether you are planning a short ride along the Danube or a multi-day cycling holiday, Bratislava is an excellent starting point.
Two international cycling routes pass through Bratislava: EuroVelo 6, following the Danube from the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea, and EuroVelo 13 – the Iron Curtain Trail, which traces the former border between East and West Europe.
