Quick ride by bicycle from Karlín to Old Town

This short and sweet cycling route takes you from the vibrant neighborhood of Karlín to the heart of Prague’s Old Town. Starting in Karlín—a once-industrial quarter that’s now buzzing with cool cafés, leafy parks, and modern architecture—you’ll pedal along mostly quiet roads and smooth asphalt. It’s an easy, relaxing ride: just over 2.5 km, with only a gentle climb and minor descent as you approach the city center.

Along the way, you’ll transition onto some classic Prague surfaces; expect a few patches of cobblestone and paving stones as you get closer to Old Town, which adds a bit of local charm (and keeps you on your toes). As you roll into Old Town, you’ll catch sight of iconic spires, winding alleys, and centuries-old squares. It’s the perfect route if you want to experience the best of Prague in less than 20 minutes—no sweat! Just watch out for pedestrians, especially when you enter the busy, historic streets.
