Quick ride by bicycle from Hostivice to Malá Strana

Ready to ride from the peaceful outskirts to the heart of historic Prague? This 19 km cycling route takes you from Hostivice, a laid-back suburb known for its charming ponds and green spaces, right into Malá Strana—“Lesser Town”—full of baroque streets, cozy cafés, and iconic Prague Castle views.

The journey starts gently in Hostivice, with most of your way on quiet roads and a good stretch on dedicated cycleways—perfect for a relaxed pace. The route is mostly paved or asphalt, so you won't need a mountain bike. You'll cruise through green parks and leafy neighborhoods, slowly descending toward the Vltava River and the cobbled magic of Malá Strana.

As you roll into Malá Strana, prepare for postcard-worthy sights: grand churches, riverside views, and old-world charm at every turn. Enjoy the smooth city ride with just enough hill to keep it interesting (you’ll net more descent than ascent overall). Ideal for a weekend morning or a quiet afternoon!
