Like all urbirun routes, you can start wherever you like. Pay attention to the direction of the tour.

In the heart of Europe, the westernmost of eastern european cities is fascinating with its intermingling of cultures. From the presence of the legendary alchemists of the 16th century, Prag, forever romantic, was in turn a royal town, then imperial city, provincial town under the communist régime, until becoming radiant and creative capital of a modern state. Explore the cobbled streets of the Old Town, go up to the castle hill, jump from one bank to the other of the sublime Vltava, and enjoy the wonderful blend of modernity and history that this unique and charming city offers.

*Alternative route : the standard 9.5km can be shortened or extended depending on your will and fitness of the day. Just let's guide you...

Bonus

Testimonies

 

Very nice route and covers main sights. Worth an early morning start to get the place to yourself before the tourists arrive.

As always, urbirun is a great way to discover the city. I would suggest an early morning run as Prag tends to get busy in the afternoon (on the izi.TRAVEL app)

19km visit with rather mild temperatures for the season, a little zero degrees ... thank you @urbirun appl for this discovery of the city along my Sunday run! perfect. If you do not know this app don't wait to download it : I could run the streets of Prag without worrying about directions, simply listened to my guide. Great ! I really recommend, it is totally free and I have no contract with the app Lol !!! Fellow runners, have a beautiful day! (@sev_healthy on instagram 12.02.2017, translation from french by urbirun)
