The final stage of the centenary Tour de Hongrie is most reminiscent of a Belgian one-day race. The riders start from Etyek and head towards the Pilis Mountains, where they have to tackle the challenging Pilisszántó climb three times (2nd category; 1.8 km; 9%). After the third lap, they turn towards Esztergom, where they will have a seven-kilometre circuit - including a 1.1 km cobbled sector with a gradient of 8% in places. After 2.5 laps, Tour de Hongrie will finish in front of the Basilica.

Etyek made its debut as a Tour de Hongrie finish town in 2024, and this year it will be home to a stage start for the first time. The town hosted a GPM in 2022 and an intermediate sprint in 2023. Last year the eventual winner Thibau Nys defeated defending champion Marc Hirschi in a memorable battle in front of Korda Studios.

In 2025, Esztergom will host only its third Tour de Hongrie finish. In 2019, Italian Manuel Belletti won here and established his lead in the general clasification. In 2020, both the start and the finish of Stage 1 were held in front of the Basilica - the stage was won by Basque Jon Aberasturi.
