Cycling day trip from Průhonice to Karlín

This ride takes you from the leafy suburbs of Průhonice, known for its sprawling UNESCO-listed castle park, right into the heart of Prague’s dynamic Karlín district. Covering just under 29 km, the route features mostly paved surfaces (with a few gravel bits to keep things interesting!) and a gentle net descent, so expect more downhills than uphill grinds.

You’ll start among postcard-perfect ponds and gardens, then wind your way along mostly quiet roads and dedicated cycle paths. It’s a smooth urban-to-city transition, with only brief moments on busier streets. The view gradually shifts from Průhonice’s stately calm to Karlín’s hip, café-filled boulevards.

Karlín is famous for its lively food scene, cool architecture, and the stunning revitalization following the 2002 flood. Reward yourself with a coffee or pastry at one of its trendy spots. Don’t forget to snap a pic of Průhonice Castle before leaving—the fairy-tale start to a ride that ends in one of Prague’s trendiest quarters!
