Prague: Trike & e-Scooter Tour with Castle Views & Lennon Wall

Summary

Ride Prague’s hills for wild views and city stories on wheels

You’ll ride an e-scooter or trike through Prague’s winding streets and up to castle viewpoints with a local guide leading the way. Add your name to the Lennon Wall, glide under Charles Bridge, pause for tea overlooking rooftops at Strahov Monastery, and hear stories you won’t find in any guidebook. It’s an easygoing adventure—with small groups—that leaves you feeling part of the city.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit it—I was a bit nervous about riding a trike through Prague at first. The city looks so old and delicate from the street, like you might break something just by looking too hard. But our guide, Pavel, had this way of making everyone relax (his joke about “Czech traffic jams” being just two ducks crossing still makes me smile). After a quick safety run in the courtyard—helmets, gloves, the whole thing—we set off wobbling past the John Lennon Wall. I actually wrote my name there with a marker someone handed me. It felt silly but also kind of sweet? The wall is covered in layers of color and old messages—some in English, some not—and it smells faintly of spray paint and wet stone.

The trike was easier than I thought. You don’t need a license or anything—just balance and a little nerve for those cobbled streets. We zipped under Charles Bridge while tourists above leaned over to wave at us (one kid shouted something in Czech; Pavel just grinned). There’s this odd traffic light near Franz Kafka Museum that only lets one person through at a time. I almost missed it because I was distracted by these weird peeing statues out front—Pavel called them “Kafkaesque,” which made sense after seeing them.

We climbed up Letná Park and stopped at the Metronome—the wind up there made my eyes water but maybe that was just the view. Five bridges lined up across the river, Prague Castle behind us, red roofs everywhere. You could smell rain coming but it held off. At Strahov Monastery we didn’t go inside but stood outside while Pavel told us how monks have brewed beer here since forever (he said 15th century, but honestly I lost track because he got sidetracked telling us about his grandmother’s favorite pub). By then my hands were cold even with gloves—he poured us tea from his thermos right there on the overlook.

I still think about that moment—the city all spread out below us, quiet except for someone’s dog barking down in Malá Strana. The tour ends back where you start but it feels different coming down than going up. Maybe that’s just what happens when you see Prague from so many angles in one afternoon.
