Giro veloce in bici da Città Vecchia a Braník

This ride takes you from the historic heart of Prague—Old Town (Staré Město)—all the way down to the relaxed riverside neighborhood of Braník. Starting off, you’ll pedal through scenic cobblestone streets among centuries-old architecture and vibrant city life. Beyond the city center, the route transitions mainly onto quiet paved roads and cycleways, so you can enjoy both the sights and a peaceful ride.

It’s about 11 km in total, with gentle uphills and downhills (nothing too intimidating!) and most of the journey flanks the Vltava River, which is always a bonus for those riverside views. Along the way, you’ll catch glimpses of local parks and some classic Prague bridges before rolling into Braník, a laid-back spot known for its beer gardens and riverside trails—a favorite weekend hangout for locals.

This is a great route for a casual urban escape or a gentle workout, mixing Prague’s storied past with its green, modern-day charms. Don’t forget to reward yourself with a cold drink by the river in Braník when you finish!
