Prague: Electric Trike City Tour, Castle Views & John Lennon Wall

Summary

Electric trike ride through prague’s hills, bridges and street art

You’ll ride an electric trike through Prague’s winding lanes and up into parks with castle views, guided by locals who know every shortcut and story. Expect hands-on training before you go, plenty of photo stops (even if you miss half of them), time at the Lennon Wall, and a few laughs along the way. It’s all about feeling Prague’s energy up close.

What’s the experience like?

Hands gripping the trike handlebars a bit tighter than I’d admit, I followed our guide Pavel out of the little office near Maltezske namesti. He grinned at my wobbly start — “Don’t worry, everyone looks like a duck first five minutes,” he said. The electric trikes are chunkier than bikes but honestly easier than they look. After a quick test ride (I only clipped one curb), we set off into the Prague streets, helmets on and hearts thumping just a little faster than usual.

The city feels different when you’re gliding along at 25 km/h — wind in your face, cobblestones humming under the wheels. We zipped past Kampa Island where someone was roasting chestnuts (that sweet smoky smell drifted over). Pavel pointed out the narrowest street in Europe — barely wide enough for my shoulders — and then suddenly we were under Charles Bridge. There’s this echo from the river and distant violin music somewhere above. I tried to take a photo but fumbled it; too busy gawking at the view of Prague Castle up on the hill.

He made us stop at Letná Park for what he promised was “the best panorama.” And yeah, he wasn’t kidding — rooftops stacked like puzzle pieces all the way to the horizon. At Strahov Monastery, Pavel told us about monks brewing beer for centuries (I could almost smell hops in the air). We didn’t go inside anywhere — it’s more about seeing everything from outside and feeling that old stone under your feet when you hop off for photos. My favorite bit? Scribbling something silly on the John Lennon Wall with a borrowed marker while two teenagers sang Beatles songs behind us. Still makes me smile thinking about it.

I liked that it never felt rushed or crowded; our group was small enough to joke around but not get lost. When it started to drizzle near the end, they handed out raincoats without fuss and we just kept going — Prague looking even more mysterious in that gray light. It’s not polished or fancy but somehow that made it feel more real. I’ll probably always remember Pavel laughing as he tried to teach me how to say “Strahovský Klášter” properly (nope, still can’t).
