1. Discovering Prague by bicycle: history and nature on two wheels

Prague is the perfect city to explore by bike. Its cobbled streets, green parks and the banks of the Vltava River offer an ideal setting for a different kind of ride. Beyond the historic centre, there are routes that lead to less touristy neighbourhoods, where you can experience the authentic local rhythm.

If you want to combine sightseeing and adventure, a guided bike tour will allow you to discover the city's main monuments while cycling leisurely. From the Old Town to Petřín Hill, touring Prague on two wheels is a unique experience.

2. Hiking in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park

Just over an hour from Prague, the Bohemian Switzerland National Park is one of the most impressive landscapes in the Czech Republic. With its sandstone rock formations, lush forests and the famous Pravčická brána, Europe's largest stone arch, this destination is perfect for hikers.

Well-marked trails allow you to explore the area at different levels of difficulty. In addition, some trails lead to viewpoints with spectacular views of the region. This is a must-do getaway for those seeking adventure and nature in the area around Prague.

3. Kayaking and rafting on the Vltava River

The Vltava River is not only the lifeblood of Prague, but also the perfect setting for water sports. From the heart of the city to more remote areas, you can go kayaking or rafting, a fun and active way to explore the Czech Republic from the water.

The waters of the Vltava vary between calm stretches, ideal for a relaxed stroll, and areas with more current, perfect for those looking for an adrenaline rush. Whether with family, friends or on your own, paddling this river is an unforgettable experience.

4. Climbing the Adršpach Rocks

If climbing is your thing, the Adršpach Rocks, located northeast of Prague, are a real paradise. This labyrinth of impossibly shaped stone formations offers routes for all levels, from beginners to experts.

In addition to climbing, just walking through these natural formations is breathtaking. Some of the hiking trails lead you to viewpoints hidden among the tall rock pillars, offering a unique view of this spectacular landscape.

5. Paragliding in the hills of the Czech Republic

For those looking for a more extreme experience, paragliding in the Czech mountains is an incredible option. Places such as Javorový Vrch or Ještěd offer perfect conditions for soaring over forests, valleys and small villages from the air.

With the help of experienced instructors, even beginners can experience the thrill of flying over the Czech landscape. It is a unique way to see the nature of the region from a completely different perspective.

6. Exploring the Koněprusy Caves

Less than an hour from Prague are the Koněprusy Caves, an impressive system of underground galleries full of stalactites and stalagmites formed over millions of years.

A guided tour of these caves allows you to learn about their history and discover some of their most spectacular formations, such as the "Koněprusy roses", unique calcium carbonate structures. A fascinating experience for lovers of caving and adventure.

7. Safari at the Dvůr Králové Zoo

If you are passionate about wildlife, the Dvůr Králové Zoo offers a safari experience in the heart of Europe. Unlike other zoos, here the animals are housed in large open spaces that recreate their natural habitat.

During the tour, you can see species such as giraffes, rhinoceroses, zebras and lions. This is a unique opportunity to get to know African wildlife up close without leaving the Czech Republic and to live a different experience close to Prague.

8. Skiing and snowboarding in the Krkonoše Mountains

If you are visiting Prague in winter and are looking for an adventure in the snow, the Krkonoše Mountains are the ideal destination. About two hours from the capital, these mountains offer ski resorts with slopes for all levels, from beginners to experts.

The villages of Špindlerův Mlýn and Harrachov are the main access points to the area and have all the amenities for a day in the snow. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, you can also go snowshoeing or tobogganing through the snowy forests.
