Prague: E-Bike City Tour with Castle, Parks & Lennon Wall

Summary

Ride electric bikes through Prague’s parks, castle views and riverside stops

You’ll glide through Prague’s parks and historic streets on an e-bike with a local guide leading the way. Expect spontaneous stops for photos at Letná Park or coffee breaks if your group wants them. Feel free to ask questions or just soak in castle views and riverside air — it’s relaxed, not rushed.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the quiet hum of the e-bike as we set off from Parizska street — not the usual clatter of gears, just a soft whirr and the sound of our guide, Pavel, joking about how these bikes make hills “disappear.” I’d never tried an e-bike before (honestly thought I’d wobble straight into traffic), but after a quick practice round and some encouragement from Pavel, it felt surprisingly easy. We zipped through Letná Park where the air smelled like grass and grilled sausage from a nearby stand — I almost wanted to stop there already.

We paused at this skate spot by the Metronome where teenagers were hanging out, shoes dangling from wires overhead. Pavel explained that it’s kind of a rite of passage for local kids — he laughed when I tried to say “Prazský Metronom” in Czech. From there, we got our first real view over the city’s red roofs and spires. The Charles Bridge looked smaller than I expected from above; you could see tourists moving like little dots. The breeze picked up as we rode along the river toward Prague Castle — sometimes you catch this faint smell of old stone and linden trees. There was a line at the entrance so we didn’t go inside, but just circling around those walls felt like enough.

I liked that we could choose how much effort to put in — crank up the assist or pedal more ourselves. At one point someone asked if we could stop for coffee and nobody minded waiting (Pavel seemed to know every shortcut anyway). Later near the John Lennon Wall, people were painting new messages over faded ones; someone handed me a marker but I froze up trying to think of something clever. Maybe next time. By then my legs felt good-tired but not worn out — which is honestly rare for me on any kind of bike tour.
