Prague to Vienna Bike Tour
Our Prague to Vienna bike tour starts at a luxurious hotel below the Prague Castle. We cycle along the Vltava River through the lush Bohemian countryside. A van transfer takes us east to an enchanting Bohemian wonderland made up of sleepy villages, majestic castles, and rolling farmland. During our rides we tour a crystal glass factory and a brewery. Lunches include local breads, cheeses, salami and beer. Later we transfer south to an Austrian castle where we get front row seats at a falconry show. Quiet orchard lined farm roads lead to the Wachau Valley in lower Austria. This is wine country known for Austria’s best whites. Riding along the mighty Danube river we visit a stunning Baroque Abbey high on a ridge above the river. Our tour ends with a spectacular riverside ride into the center of Vienna.

Day 1: Prague
We meet at the elegant Augustine Hotel and Spa in central Prague. A bike path along the Vltava River leads us out of old Prague, through a swanky modern suburb, and into the lush countryside. Though close to the city the path is immersed in pastoral beauty. We cycle to a white water park where we enjoy a cold refreshment at a riverside café. Our first day ends with a group dinner at a posh restaurant overlooking the iconic Charles Bridge.

Day 2: Heralec
A shuttle takes us east into the rural heart of the Czech Republic. The village of Svetla nad Sazavou has been a center for crystal glassware production since the 17th century. We tour a factory that carries on the tradition of Czech glass manufacturing. Our hotel for the next two nights has a spa and wellness center where you can pamper yourself and rejuvenate.

Cycling through rolling forested hills we arrive in the little town of Humpolec, home to the Bernard Brewery. An English speaking guide takes us on a brewery tour that ends at the bar where we sample their traditional unpasteurized beers. Take a short ride back to the hotel or choose a longer loop through quiet farming villages.

We shuttle across the border to the Rosenburg Castle in lower Austria. This fairy-tale castle sits high on a cliff in the middle of a nature reserve. At the castle we enjoy a birds of prey show followed by a picnic lunch below the castle walls. Later you ride through the vineyards of the Wachau valley to our hotel on the banks of the Danube River. Our hotel is in Durnstein, a captivating village with quiet cobbled streets and fine baroque buildings.
