Fat Tire E-Scooter Guided Tour Prague

Malá Strana, Charles Bridge and the Devil's Channel

The tour starts in Malá Strana, the Lesser Town, a baroque quarter of palaces, gardens and red roofs below Prague Castle. After your safety briefing and a test ride, you head first to Charles Bridge, the stone bridge begun in the 14th century and lined with baroque statues, the most famous sight in Prague. Nearby the Devil's Channel, Čertovka, is a narrow millrace with a water wheel and pastel houses, often called the Venice of Prague.

Your guide also shows you one of the narrowest lanes in Prague, so tight that it has its own pedestrian traffic light, and the riverside courtyard of Hergetova Cihelna with its view of the bridge. These first five-minute stops let you get comfortable on the scooter on quiet streets before crossing the river.

Josefov, the Rudolfinum and Old Town Square

Across the Vltava you ride past the Rudolfinum, a grand neo-Renaissance concert hall from 1885, Charles University and the Straka Academy, today the seat of the Czech government. Then you enter Josefov, the historic Jewish Quarter, where the Old-New Synagogue of the 13th century is the oldest active synagogue in Europe and the Old Jewish Cemetery holds layers of tilted gravestones from the 15th to the 18th centuries.

The route continues to Old Town Square, the heart of medieval Prague, with the Gothic spires of the Týn Church and the Old Town Hall with its famous Astronomical Clock. Your guide shares the stories behind each building, and short stops give you time for photos without the crowds slowing you down, which is the real advantage of a Prague e-scooter tour.

Letná Park, the Metronome and the city viewpoint

Next you cross back over the river and ride up into Letná Park, a large green plateau above the Vltava that locals love for walks and cycling. On the edge of the park stands the giant Prague Metronome, a moving sculpture placed in 1991 on the huge plinth of a monument that was demolished in 1962.

The Letná viewpoint is one of the best viewpoints in Prague, looking down on the river, the row of bridges and the towers of the Old Town. It is the main photo and break stop of the tour, so take your time. Many travellers ask where to get the best panoramic photos in Prague, and this terrace is a favourite answer.

Prague Castle and Strahov Monastery

From Letná the route continues along park paths to Prague Castle, the vast complex of palaces, churches and courtyards that has been the seat of Czech rulers for over a thousand years, crowned by the Gothic St. Vitus Cathedral. Reaching the castle on an e-scooter spares you the steep climb from Malá Strana, and you stop for about 10 minutes for photos and a short break.

You then ride on to Strahov Monastery, a Premonstratensian abbey founded in 1143, famous for its baroque library halls and its terrace views over the city. This high part of the route is quiet, green and full of wide vistas, and your guide explains the history of the castle district as you go.

Petřín Hill and the graffiti wall near Kampa

From Strahov the route skirts Petřín Hill, the green hill of orchards and gardens above Malá Strana, with views across to the castle and the Old Town. The ride downhill on the fat tyres is one of the most enjoyable parts of the tour, with photo stops on the way.

The final stop is the colourful graffiti wall on a small square near Kampa Island, covered since the 1980s with messages of peace and freedom and repainted constantly by visitors. You then return to Saská 7 in Malá Strana. If you are wondering whether an e-scooter tour of Prague is worth it, this route links sights that would take a full day to walk.
