Discover the Czech Republic on a small group bike tour with an expert local guide

Endowed with picturesque countryside, medieval villages, ancient castles and cathedrals; brimming with history and home to one of the world’s most beautiful cities, the Czech Republic is a European must-see for all cycling enthusiasts. 

Explore the captivating Golden City of a Hundred Spires, Prague—without question one of Europe's most beautiful and cultured cities. See ancient chapels and historic palaces, wander cobblestoned backstreets and elegant plazas, and experience this magnificent city, alive with arts and history and rivaling Paris in its beauty.

From there, head out of town to savour the delightful Czech countryside at handlebar level—cycle along an outstanding collection of scenic routes linking Prague with Vienna; and explore the historic castles, caves, quaint villages and spectacular landscapes of the Bohemia region.

Pass through superb countryside and encounter hilltop castles, beautiful villages and spa towns as you follow the course of the Elbe River by bike and barge; enjoy colourful Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance architecture surrounded by wild natural scenery in Litomerice; and explore Cesky Krumlov, one of Europe's best-preserved medieval towns.

Our unique guided cycling trips are tailored to get you deep into the heart of this stunning country, taking in its key highlights as well as experiencing the beauty of its lesser-visited trails. Have a browse and start planning your Czech bike tour!

Visas

In the first half of 2025 it is expected that the ETIAS travel authorisation will be introduced requiring online application before travel. See https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en for more details.

Until then, visas not required for citizens of Australia, Canada, USA and New Zealand for up to 90 days in a period of 180 days for all Schengen countries (see https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies/schengen-borders-and-visa/visa-policy_en . Please ensure your passport is stamped on arrival in the Schengen area – note that a new entry/exit system will be introduced in 2025. See https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ees_en for more information. For all other nationalities and for longer stays in countries covered by the Schengen Agreement (Australian New Zealand, Canadian and US passport holders), please contact the relevant embassy. Stays of longer than 90 days in the Schengen area require a long stay visa for the country you are spending most time in. However long stay visas are unlikely to be issued unless there is a valid reason (eg. studying in country). Unfortunately we cannot assist in obtaining visas for long stays due to individual country visa requirements.

Please contact us if you would like to obtain a quote for your trip duration.

We suggest that you consult your doctor, local government inoculation centre or a travel medical specialist in order to get the most current advice regarding vaccination requirements.

Money and valuables should always be stored safely when travelling. Keep your passport with you at all times and do not leave it in your main luggage. You will need it to change money and check into hotels. Where safety deposit boxes are available, we recommend that you use them. Keep jewellery and valuables to a minimum.
