Exploring Prague on a Double Transportation Adventure

This tour is a clever way to experience Prague’s top attractions while enjoying the freedom and fun of riding electric scooters and Segways. The tour starts in Old Town Square, the heart of Prague, where the vibrant atmosphere and historic buildings set the stage. From there, it’s a breezy ride along Parizska Street, often called Prague’s most fashionable boulevard, lined with shops, cafes, and historic architecture.

Next, you’ll glide past the oldest synagogue in Europe—a humbling reminder of Prague’s diverse past—before crossing the Vltava River via the iconic Charles Bridge.

Approximately three minutes from Prague Castle, you’ll switch from scooters to Segways for a more immersive experience. The transition is smooth, thanks to a brief training session that ensures all participants feel confident. This switch allows you to better explore Petřín Hill and Strahov Monastery, where you’ll enjoy gorgeous views and the chance to sample local Czech beer at the monastery’s historic brewery.
