Explore beautiful Prague by Segway, e-bike or even hot air balloon.
Prague is easily explored on foot, with a comprehensive range of guided walking tours available to visitors. But nowadays there are also many other exciting ways of discovering the city’s charms — here are five new ways of exploring Prague.
Seeing Prague From a Hot Air Balloon
What could be more dramatic than seeing Prague from a hot air balloon? Float quietly over the castle, along the course of the Vltava River and above the Bohemian countryside on an hour-long ballooning ride. The tour comes with hotel pick-up, a qualified pilot and guide, a commemorative certificate and a celebratory toast upon landing. Exact routes and flight timings depend on wind conditions. Airborne tour options of Prague also include flights in a light aircraft.
Prague by E-Bike
See the wonders of Prague actively but easily by hiring an electric bike. On this Prague e-bike tour, you can choose from four routes: The Castle District Bike Trail explores Hradčany — and you’ll be grateful for the e-Bike as it’s hilly terrain; the Enchanting Bike Trail wanders through the parks and Baroque elegance of Malá Strana; the Panoramic Bike Trail leads through Letná Park on the west bank of the Vltava; and the Old Town Riverside Bike Trail follows the course of the river, giving glimpses of Charles Bridge, the castle and the Jewish Quarter. Tours are limited to 10 people, and there are multiple stops for photo opportunities in this loveliest of European cities.
Segway Around Prague
There’s a huge range of Segway tours around Prague, from a 30-minute introductory small-group tour of the Staré Město (Old Town) to a two-hour evening jaunt from Wenceslas Square across the Vltava to Malá Strana and the tranquil backwater of Kampa Island. Alternatively, fix your own itinerary and starting times with a private Segway tour. Helmets and safety briefings are included in the price of all tours.
Running Through Prague
Why not ramp up your fitness levels and see Prague’s wondrous Baroque beauty at the same time? Running tours can be customizable or might encompass anything from a 4.5-mile (seven-kilometer) run along the riverfront to a three-hour jog out through rural landscapes to Karlstejn Castle, with extra perks like a hop-on hop-off bus pass.
Prague by Chauffeured Car
Seeing Vienna in the capable hands of a private driver is the ultimate in luxury sightseeing; pick-up times, length of tour and personal itinerary can be arranged to suit individual needs. Options range from a guided tour of the city’s landmarks to an eight-hour private shopping binge in Prague’s malls, including Chodov and discount outlet Fashion Arena — favorite Prague souvenirs include quality Bohemian crystal and hand-carved wooden puppets.
