Budapest and Prague: the most cycling-friendly cities in Eastern Europe, but still playing catch up to Western European counterparts
Among the major cities in Eastern Europe, Budapest and Prague stand out as two of the cities with the best-developed cycling cultures and infrastructures.
According to the travel website, Wanderlust, both cities were among the top 9 in June 2021 for cycling in Europe and have some of the highest levels of household bicycle ownership in Eastern Europe,
reports Euromonitor International.
The Hungarian Club in Budapest in June 2020 launched a map that compiled all the available cycling routes in the city. This gained popularity with residents, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic, which prompted a renewed interest in individual and eco-friendly transportation.

One km bike lane for 750 thousand EUR? In Hungary, that’s reality
Decide the location of Hungary!!!!!!!! When you want to brag how good things are in Hungary, you compare it with Eastern European countries but the Prime Minister always locates Hungary in CENTRAL Europe. Then, if Hungary is CENTRAL Europe and not EASTERN Europe, you should compare the cycling friendliness with Austria and not with Slovakia or Ukraine. But if you do compare it with Austria, then, it wouldn’t be to MOST cycling friendly of course it would be the LESS cycling friendly. It sound to me like a gypsy trick. Sometimes in the East, sometimes in the Center, it depends the convenience.
