Cycling day trip from Hostivice to Karlín

This ride takes you from Hostivice, a peaceful suburban town just outside Prague, all the way into the heart of the city’s vibrant Karlín district. You’ll roll out on mostly quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, making it a relaxed trip for most of the way. The route is super bike-friendly—nearly three-quarters is paved or asphalt—meaning smooth sailing, with only a handful of cobblestones to keep things interesting.

You'll climb a gentle 138 meters in elevation along the way, but you get to enjoy almost 293 meters of descent, especially as you approach the city. Hostivice itself is known for its scenic ponds and parks, perfect for a serene send-off. Once you reach Karlín, you’ll find yourself in one of Prague’s coolest neighborhoods, packed with hip cafés, historic architecture, and a lively arts scene. It’s a lovely ride for anyone looking to experience the transition from leafy outskirts to urban buzz!
