Quick ride by bicycle from Karlín to Malá Strana

This ride takes you from Karlín, a vibrant Prague neighborhood known for its trendy cafés and urban parks, straight into the historic heart of Malá Strana. It’s a leisurely 4 km spin—mostly on quiet roads and smooth asphalt, sprinkled with a dash of cobblestone for that classic Prague vibe (hold onto your handlebars!). You’ll pedal along the edge of the Vltava, passing landmarks old and new, and soak up views of grand bridges and city spires.

The route is super appealing for those who want to avoid heavy traffic: nearly all the way is paved, and you’ll glide through charming pedestrian areas and cozy residential streets. There is a bit of a climb (about 40 meters ascent), but it’s nothing major, and you’re rewarded with a gentle roll down as you approach Malá Strana—famous for its baroque buildings, hidden gardens, and of course, the majestic Prague Castle looming overhead.

Whether you’re touring or commuting, this route is a great snapshot of Prague’s old-meets-new charm!
