The experience

You'll meet at the starting point to pick your bike and get fitted with a helmet, then head out with your guide into Prague's center. The first stop is Old Town Square, where the guide walks you through the Astronomical Clock, the Old Town Hall and Tyn Church: the historical landmarks that frame the city's medieval beginnings. From there you ride into Josefov, the Jewish Quarter, to learn about the district's significance and see its key sights before heading toward the Municipal House and the Powder Tower, where the old city walls once stood.

The route crosses through Prague's main shopping street and stops at Wenceslas Square, where your guide explains the Prague Spring, the Velvet Revolution and Vaclav Havel's role in the city's modern history. Then you cross the river into Mala Strana, the lesser town, and take a break at a small artistic cafe: time to grab a coffee or refreshment before continuing. After the break, you ride through Kampa Park and stop at Museum Kampa to see David Cerny's controversial sculptures, including his famous "Babies" installation that has become a Prague landmark. The tour ends at Charles Bridge, where your guide shares the story of Emperor Charles IV and the bridge itself.

The whole loop takes three hours at a relaxed pace, with your guide handling the commentary while you focus on the ride. Bikes and helmets are included, and specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with small children. Kids can also ride in a pram or stroller if that works better for your group.
