Giro veloce in bici da Hodkovičky a Vysehrad

This route takes you from the peaceful residential neighborhood of Hodkovičky, nestled along the southern edge of Prague, straight up to the historic Vyšehrad fortress. It’s just about 9 km, making for a pleasant ride that’s long enough to stretch your legs but short enough to squeeze into a morning or afternoon.

You’ll start out on mostly quiet paved roads, with dedicated cycleways for a good chunk of the trip—ideal for a relaxed pace. There are a few gentle ups and downs, but overall it’s a gradual climb towards central Prague, with a fun descent along the way.

As you approach Vyšehrad, keep an eye out for a brief section of cobblestones and some charming old paving stones that add a bit of character. Arriving at Vyšehrad is a treat—this historic fortress offers sweeping views of Prague and the Vltava River, with lots of green spaces to catch your breath. Don’t forget to snap a photo from the ramparts before you head back!
