Quick ride by bicycle from Braník to Vysehrad

This relaxed route starts in Braník, a laid-back Prague neighborhood by the Vltava River, popular for its brewery and riverfront cycling paths. You’ll enjoy a mostly paved surface, with smooth asphalt for over two-thirds of the ride and a bit of classic Prague cobblestones and paving stones along the way—enough for some character but nothing too rough.

The ride is about 6.4 km with a gentle ascent, climbing around 75 meters, so expect a steady but manageable workout. You’ll mostly cruise along dedicated cycle paths and quiet roads, passing leafy riverside parks and catching occasional glimpses of Prague’s skyline.

Your journey ends at Vyšehrad, a historic fortress and park perched over the river, boasting stunning views back over the city. It’s the legendary resting place of Czech kings and an awesome spot for a post-ride stroll or picnic. All in all, a perfect mix of urban cycling and cultural sightseeing!
