What’s the experience like?

You know that feeling when you first roll into a city square and it just buzzes? That’s how our day started in the old Renaissance courtyard—cobblestones underfoot, the faint smell of fresh coffee from a nearby café, and our guide waving us over with a grin. After a quick intro and a welcome drink (mine was tangy elderflower lemonade), we got matched up with our e-bikes. I’d never tried one before—turns out, they’re a breeze to handle, even on those sneaky Prague hills.

The ride up to Letná Park was smooth—no huffing or puffing, just the soft whir of the motor and the sound of locals chatting as they walked their dogs. Our guide, Petr, pointed out the old Stalin monument base (now a skatepark) and shared how locals use this spot for summer picnics. The view over the city rooftops is something you don’t forget; you can spot the red spires poking up everywhere.

We wound our way through leafy lanes to Prague Castle. Walking through those massive gates, you feel tiny. St. Vitus’ Cathedral looms above everything—inside, sunlight hits the stained glass and throws colors across the stone floor. Petr told us about the defenestration (look it up—it’s wild), and I caught the faint smell of incense drifting out from one of the side chapels.

Afterwards, we coasted down to Strahov Monastery for another viewpoint—this one’s quieter, with fewer crowds and a breeze that smells faintly of hops from the brewery next door. We snapped some photos and then headed down to the old town for lunch. The pub had wooden benches and those classic Czech dumplings that soak up gravy perfectly. Beer tasting was part of it too—my favorite was the dark lager, almost chocolatey.

Later, we zipped past the Dancing House—honestly, it looks like it’s about to waltz off into the river. Petr explained how Frank Gehry designed it with Vlado Milunić; locals call it Fred & Ginger. We finished at Jan Palach Square, where students sat on the steps outside Rudolfinum with guitars. The last stop was in Josefov—the old Jewish quarter—where you can still see Hebrew inscriptions on some doorways if you look close enough.
