Start your bike trip to Karlstejn from the Praha Bike office in the center of Prague. We’ll provide directions on your phone and guide you out of the city to the river and bike path (about a 15-minute ride). The cycling to the castle takes about 3–4 hours on mostly flat terrain. Along the way, you’ll pass through local villages, with stops for sightseeing, refreshments, or lunch at a traditional Czech restaurant. Upon arrival in Karlstejn Village, you can lock your bike in a designated parking area or anywhere in the village, then walk 15 minutes (1.2 km) up to the castle grounds to explore the exteriors, courtyard, and enjoy breathtaking views.
If time allows, you can also take the interior castle tour (55 minutes; Adults: 330 CZK, Children/Students/Seniors: 180 CZK).
Return to Prague by train with your bike — trains depart approximately every 30 minutes, and the journey takes 40 minutes. The trip must end at the Praha Bike office by 17:30.
We recommend starting your ride no later than 10:30 AM.
Note: Both regular and electric bikes are allowed. E-bikes don’t make the trip faster, but definitely easier!
