Private E-Scooter Tour in Prague: Old Town, Castle & Hidden Gems

Summary

Explore Prague’s Landmarks by Electric Scooter with a Local Guide

You get to see Prague’s highlights without sore feet or crowded trams—just hop on an e-scooter and follow your local guide through hidden lanes and famous squares. It’s quick, fun, and lets you discover spots most tourists miss while still hitting all the must-sees like Prague Castle and Charles Bridge.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was how easy it felt to glide over the cobblestones—no jolts, just a smooth ride past the Astronomical Clock as the bells chimed on the hour. Our guide, Petr, handed out warm gloves (lifesaver in that chilly morning breeze) and made sure we were comfy on the scooters before heading down Parízská Street. You’ll spot high-end boutiques here—think Cartier and Prada—but honestly, I was more interested in the smell of fresh coffee drifting from a tiny café near the corner.

We zipped through the Jewish Quarter next. The Spanish Synagogue’s golden details caught the sunlight, and Petr pointed out the old Jewish cemetery tucked behind iron gates—quiet and a bit haunting. There’s always some chatter from market stalls nearby; you might hear someone bargaining for pastries or souvenirs.

Wenceslas Square felt busier—locals rushing for trams, street musicians playing something jazzy. Petr shared stories about the Velvet Revolution right where it happened in ‘89. Republic Square came up fast after that; we paused by Powder Gate, imagining coronation processions centuries ago. The National Bank building looms nearby—pretty hard to miss.

Letná Park was my favorite stop for views. We parked near Malinovka beer garden (if you’re thirsty, grab a drink), and just stood there watching red rooftops stretch across Old Town. Sometimes you catch a whiff of grilled sausages from food stands if you’re lucky with timing.

The climb up to Hradcany and Prague Castle was easier than I expected on these scooters. St. Vitus Cathedral towers above everything—its stained glass windows are wild when sunlight hits them just right. Petr let us linger as long as we wanted before rolling down toward Strahov Monastery (the oldest brewery in town). If you ask nicely, they’ll tell you about their secret beer recipe.

Kampa Island sits right by the river—a quiet patch of green where locals walk their dogs or picnic under chestnut trees. We stopped at the John Lennon Wall too; it’s covered in new graffiti every week, so no two visits look alike. Charles Bridge is always packed but riding up to it gives you this cool “VIP” feeling—like you’re sneaking in through a side door.

On our way back, we passed Franz Kafka Museum (don’t miss David Černý’s “Peeing Figures” sculpture out front—it’s weirdly hypnotic). The Rudolfinum echoed with music even from outside; sometimes you catch snippets of rehearsals if you time it right.
