Prague hills feel less scary on a Segway. This Prague On Segway Fun & Beer tour is a smart way to cover more of Prague without getting worn out, with big-picture views and real riding time. I especially liked the monastery brewery stops built into the longer options. One catch: you cannot ride into the Prague Castle area proper from the Segway route, so you get views, not entry.

I also found the human touch matters here. Guides like Sebastian can get you comfortable fast, and I like how the tour builds in extra safety training and a supervised test-drive before you cruise. A possible drawback is that you need to fit the basic requirements, like the 35 kg minimum weight and the helmet requirement, and the ride is not for anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Key things to know before you go

• A pre-ride safety practice that includes time to test-drive with a guide watching closely
• Prague Castle views from the outside, since the Segway zone does not allow entry
• Strahov and Břevnov monastery areas built into the route for that calm, historic feel
• Beer is an add-on with clear limits, not a guaranteed drink for every tour length
• Small-group pacing with a maximum of 30 riders and a central start at Maltezské náměstí

Segways, e-Scooters, and the Castle views you can actually get to

This is a tour built for people who want Prague highlights without turning the day into a stair workout. You ride Segway models (and the operator also runs e-scooter and trike options for those who want different route access), and the main loop mixes viewpoints with classic Prague landmarks.

The big headline is that you will see the Prague Castle area from the right angles, but you will not be able to ride into the Castle grounds on this Segway route. The tour stays out of a Segway-forbidden zone, so think: great sightlines, outside views, photos. If you want inside Castle time, you would need a different tour format.

What I like about this approach is simple: Prague’s famous sights are scattered and hilly. Getting to the right outer viewpoints by Segway means you spend energy on riding and seeing, not on panting your way uphill before lunch.

Getting set up: helmets, safety training, and how hard this really is

Before you roll, you get a real orientation. You should plan for extra 10 to 15 minutes (the training can run in the roughly 5 to 15 minute range) for safety instruction plus a supervised test-drive. That matters more than people think. If you are nervous, you have time to practice before the tour moves.

Headgears are mandatory, and the company provides helmets in different sizes. The tour also uses winter snow tires when conditions call for it, and you get raincoats if it is light rain, with tours running as planned. If conditions turn extreme, they may reschedule or cancel for safety, with a full refund.

The other practical rule is comfort and control. There is a minimum weight of 35 kg (77 lbs) and a maximum of 135 kg (297 lbs), plus a minimum age of 8 years old. So if you have a young kid, a smaller teen, or someone on the lighter side, check this first.

Meeting at Maltezské náměstí: the start that keeps you oriented

You meet back at Maltezské náměstí 479/7, Prague 1, in the Lesser Town area. It is a useful base because it is not tucked away on a side street that turns into a mini scavenger hunt. The tour also says it is near public transportation, which helps if you are pairing it with other plans that day.

From the start, the guide gets you moving quickly. This is where the live guiding shows its value. You are not just left to follow a line and hope your wheels find the right path. The group stays together, and you learn where to put your hands and how to brake smoothly.

If you have already spent a day or two in Prague, this tour still works because it helps you connect the dots. If it is your first day, it can help you get your bearings fast.

The first stops: from the Castle views to Prague’s classic architecture

After you start, the route aims for big visual payoff early.

Stop 1: Castle zone viewpoints (no entry)

You will be shown views of the Castle area, but you cannot cross into the restricted Segway zone. If you have always pictured riding right up to Prague Castle gates, this will feel a bit like a teaser. The upside is that you still get the dramatic look, without the hassle of planning a separate walking route right away.

Stop 2: Na Ořechovce, the Beverly Hills of Prague

Next comes Na Ořechovce at 250/30A, nicknamed the Beverly Hills of Prague. The tour gives you a quick, guided look at what people mean by that name, basically the wealthy-residential feel in this part of town. It is short, but it adds variety beyond the most over-photographed center.

Stop 3: Villa Muller

Then you hit Villa Muller for another quick architectural stop. If you like seeing Prague through standout residential design, this is a nice break from the usual church-and-square rhythm.

Stop 4: Church of St. Norbert

After that, you visit the Church of St. Norbert. This stop is brief, but it helps you understand how many different architectural styles fit into one compact city.

These first blocks are all about building context. You get multiple landmarks in a short time, which is the whole point of a Segway-style tour.

Strahov Monastery and the 12th-century calm that slows you down

The route then pivots to one of my favorite types of Prague scenery: spots that feel quieter and more “Prague on the edge” than “Prague packed with tour groups.”

Stop 5: Strahovsky Klaster

You spend about 10 minutes at Strahovsky Klaster, a monastery area dating to the 12th century. It is not trying to be a museum visit. It is more like a guided pause where you can look around, absorb the setting, and get those elevated, scenic photos.

Why this part works

This is where the Segway helps again. Strahov areas involve elevation and uneven walking. Riding gets you close enough to enjoy the views without turning the stop into a steep endurance test.

Strahov Monastery Brewery: when the beer upgrade becomes the point

Now the tour turns into the Fun and Beer part.

Stop 6: Strahov Monastery Brewery

You get around 15 minutes at the Strahov Monastery Brewery, which dates to the 15th century. The tour states drinks are optional. Also important: drinks are included only in the 3-hour private tour option.

That means you should not assume beer pours for every booking. What you can count on is time near the brewery setting, plus the chance to enjoy a drink if your tour option includes it or you choose to buy something on-site.

If you are a beer lover, this is the stop that justifies choosing the longer duration. It gives you a reason to linger, not only to ride.

Park time: the practical driving segment you will appreciate later

Mid-route, you get time in a green park area, listed as 10 minutes. It is described as a perfect space for driving the Segway.

This matters because by now, your body has figured out the basics. That park time is your chance to smooth out turns and feel more confident. It is also just pleasant. Prague is photogenic, but you need little breaks where you can enjoy the air and not think about where your feet are landing.

Břevnov Monastery and brewery add-on for the 3-hour tour

If you pick the longer option, the route continues to the Břevnov side.

Stop 8: Břevnov Monastery

You spend about 10 minutes at Břevnov Monastery. The tour notes it is a Benedictine archabbey founded in 993 AD by Saint Adalbert, with support from Bohemian Duke Boleslaus. That specific founding detail makes this stop feel less generic. You are not just seeing a big church, you are seeing a place with a long timeline.

Stop 9: Břevnov Monastery Brewery

Then you hit Břevnov Monastery Brewery for about 15 minutes. The tour highlights it as following up on the oldest documented brewery in the Czech Republic, also tied to 993.

This second brewery stop is ideal if you want a Prague beer tour that is tied to place, not just a pub crawl. The city has plenty of bars. This format connects the drink to a historic setting.

The Strahov Stadium option: big scale, shorter time

There is also a potential stop at the Great Strahov Stadium, but it depends on tour length and whether you stay at the brewery. The tour notes it is only in the 2-hour and 3-hour options if you are not staying in the brewery at that moment.

If you do reach it, you get a quick look at a stadium built for synchronized gymnastics displays on a massive scale. The field is described as three times as long and three times as wide as a standard association football pitch. Even if you only see it briefly, the scale is the story.

Beer value: what is included, what is optional, and how to plan

The best way to handle the beer part is to match it to your expectations.

• Beer is an upgrade tied to the route and tour option.
• Drinks at the monastery brewery stops are described as optional.
• Drinks are included only in the 3-hour private tour option.

So, if you want beer as the main event, prioritize the longer timing that gives you more time at breweries. If you are mostly there for the ride and you like the idea of a drink, you can treat beer as a bonus.

Also remember what is included besides beer: the tour includes unlimited tea, water, and coffee in the office. That is genuinely useful on a day when you are out moving around.

Food is not included, and neither are gratuities. If you want a full meal after, plan to eat nearby or on your own after the tour ends back at the meeting point.

Price and value: why this can be a good deal for the right traveler

The price shown is $3.60 per person, which is extremely low in a world where guided Segway experiences usually cost real money. With that in mind, I would treat the advertised price as your starting point for value, not as the end of the story.

What you do get for the experience:

• Live guiding throughout
• Helmets provided, with sizes
• Safety training and supervised test-drive time
• Unlimited tea, water, coffee in the office
• Included ticket coverage at listed stops (listed as free)

What you might add later:

• Beer drinks, depending on the tour option
• Food and other drinks, since they are not included
• Gratuities, as optional

So the value depends on your goal. If you want a guided ride that covers ground and adds a beer stop if you choose it, this can make a lot of sense. If you want a long sit-down brewery tasting with multiple pours and a full meal, you might feel like you only got the appetizer version unless you choose the longer private option.

One more detail that affects value: you ride in a group, with a maximum of 30 travelers. That helps keep things fun and social, but it does mean your pace is still guided.

Who should book this Prague Segway Fun and Beer tour

This is a strong fit if you:

• Want a practical intro to Prague that does not require a fitness level built for hills
• Like the idea of seeing multiple landmarks in one outing, including monasteries like Strahov and Břevnov
• Have beer as a bonus, or as a goal if you choose the right duration option
• Prefer a structured guide over planning route by route

You might skip it if:

• You strongly want to enter Prague Castle from the Segway itself, since this route shows viewpoints but avoids the Segway-forbidden zone
• You do not meet the weight or age requirements, since those are fixed constraints
• You are traveling with someone who cannot follow safety rules, since riding is forbidden if under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or strong medicine

Should you book it

Yes, if you want an efficient, guide-led Prague experience that mixes city landmarks with monastery scenery and gives you a real shot at enjoying beer in the right setting. The route is built for getting outside the usual crowd lines while still hitting recognizable sights.

No, if your dream day is Castle ticket time, long museum hours, or a slow-food beer crawl. This tour is best viewed as a moving scenic sampler with a beer option that depends on how long you book.

If you do book, I’d plan your expectations around the ride and the viewpoint stops, then choose the longer option only if you really want the extra monastery and brewery time. That way you get the best of what this tour does well, and you avoid leaving feeling rushed.
