À vélo de Karlín à Vysehrad

This is a fun city ride from the trendy neighborhood of Karlín to the historic fortress of Vyšehrad. You’ll cover just under 6 km—enough to get your heart pumping but still leave plenty of time for exploring Prague.

Start off in Karlín, one of Prague’s coolest districts, known for its hip cafés and artsy vibe. From there, pedal south along mostly quiet roads and pedestrian areas, making your way through stretches of smooth asphalt mixed with some classic Prague cobblestones—those really add to the old-world charm!

While there’s a gentle climb of about 70 meters, the ride isn’t too tough, and you’ll be rewarded with fantastic views once you reach Vyšehrad. This iconic hilltop fortress offers sweeping vistas over the Vltava, plus some peaceful gardens and ancient ramparts to check out when you arrive. Total time in the saddle is about an hour—just enough to work up an appetite for a riverside snack!
