The City & Castle Bike Tour is a 2½ hour guided cycle ride around both the historical centre of Prague and the high ground near Prague Castle. See the sights in the way only a bike makes possible.
Difficulty Level: medium paced 10km (6 mile) bike ride. Includes a few hills (elevation 140m).
Our bike tours are led by expert local guides, who will show you the sights and tourist attractions of Prague in a fun, yet informative manner. There are rest breaks en-route, to catch our breath, to take in the stunning architecture, and for the guide to explain the history and legends associated with the places we visit. Young and old, new riders to advanced cyclists, all types will enjoy this trip.
We begin with a tour of the Old Town, after which we cross the Vltava River and ride up to the heights of Letna Park. From here, marvel at the views and take advantage of the excellent photo opportunities. We stop off at Prague Castle, cycle through to Petřín Park, and visit points of interest along the way; such as the Metronome, where the largest statue of Stalin once stood. We ride through the park on Kampa Island, back over the river, and on to the New Town to explore Wenceslas Square. Finally, we return to the Old Town, where the tour ends.
While we do cycle on roads, where possible the guide opts for back streets, parkland and trails, to ensure pleasurable biking all the way. Our Prague bike tours offer a unique experience. As we cycle thorough the streets and squares, through parks and across the river, immerse yourself in this wonderful city.
Afterwards, you should feel you have experienced the best of Prague.
