There are bigger cycling adventures around Prague. More scenic ones too. But if someone asked me for the one ride that best captures the city as I know it, not just the postcard center, but the parks, riverbanks, forgotten corners and ordinary neighborhoods that link it all together, the roughly 30 km circuit I describe below would probably be it. The entire loop takes about two to three hours at a comfortable pace -- longer if you stop for coffee or beer along the way. It touches many of Prague’s inner neighborhoods while remaining surprisingly connected to green spaces and cycling paths. It’s not a beginner ride. There are a few big hills, several sections with city traffic, and you need to feel comfortable navigating urban streets. But for intermediate cyclists, it’s one of the most satisfying loops I know.
