Segways and beer make Prague feel lighter. This Prague On Segway Fun & Beer tour is a smart way to cover more ground without tiring out, and you get a real safety training so riding feels natural fast. I also like the focus on viewpoints in the Castle area (without the hassle of long hikes) and the chance to pair the ride with monastery-brewery stops.

One thing to consider: you won’t be able to enter Prague Castle itself on the Segway because that zone is off-limits for these vehicles. If Castle entry is your goal, you’ll want a different tour option.

Key highlights you’ll feel fast

• A guided “learn it fast” session (10–15 minutes, supervised practice) before you start rolling
• Castle-area views without the Castle hassle, since the Segway zone stops entry
• Strahov Monastery Brewery stop, built for beer people and included drinks only in specific options
• Quiet hilltop landmarks like Strahov Monastery and the St. Norbert Church area
• Flexible duration choices (roughly 5 minutes to 3 hours) with optional add-ons for brewery tastings
• Small-group vibe with a maximum of 30 riders and a guide steering the whole flow

Price and value: a low-cost way to see Prague from the right angles

This tour lists a price of $3.60 per person. That number is so low that it’s worth double-checking what you’re choosing at checkout (duration and any beer upgrade). Even with that caveat, the value idea here is clear: you’re paying for time-efficient sightseeing plus professional guiding, helmets, and a practice session.

What makes it feel like good value is the mix. You’re not just “transported” between stops. You’re taught how to ride, you visit places many people skip, and you have a built-in option for beer lovers to extend the experience with brewery tasting. For a short trip to Prague, that can beat spending your day on steep stairs and crowded tram lines.

Meeting at Maltezské Square: helmets, the vibe, and getting rolling

Your tour starts back at Maltezské Square, 479/7, Prague 1 (Lesser Town). It’s marked as near public transportation, which matters because this is a ride-focused experience. If you’re early, you’ll have time to get your bearings and relax before the safety practice.

Helmets are mandatory, and the operator provides sizes. You’ll also get extra time for a supervised test-drive—listed as 10–15 minutes. This is not just “watch and go.” The point is to help you handle the Segway/e-scooter confidently before you enter real streets and ramps.

There’s also unlimited tea, water, and coffee at their office. That’s a tiny detail that helps on sightseeing days—especially if you’re starting in cooler weather.

The “learn to ride” session that makes the tour work

The best part of this tour setup is that the ride doesn’t assume you’re already a Segway pro. You should expect some basic coaching and a test-drive period where the guide can correct your posture and control before the sightseeing begins.

If you’ve ever felt awkward on scooters or bikes, this is where you’ll feel the difference. Once you’re comfortable, the rest of the tour turns into “glide and look around,” not “glide and worry.”

A couple practical notes the tour spells out:

• Headgear is obligatory and included
• Minimum rider weight is 35 kg / 77 lbs
• Maximum is 135 kg / 297 lbs
• Minimum age is 8 years old
• Tours are strongly forbidden if you’re under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or strong medicine

Prague Castle viewpoints: you’ll see the big stuff, just not enter it

The first highlight is the Castle area. The tour description calls it the largest castle in the world, and you’ll get multiple views from the outside.

Here’s the trade-off: you can’t enter Prague Castle on a Segway because it’s in a forbidden Segway zone. The guide will show you several viewpoints, but this is still a “look, then move on” experience.

Why this works anyway: from a rider’s perspective, you’re getting the drama of the Castle without spending your day stopped in lines or winding through steep paths on foot. If the Castle interior is a must for you, the operator points you toward their e-scooter and trike tour options instead.

Na Ořechovce: the Beverly Hills of Prague stop

Next you’ll visit Na Ořechovce (250/30A), described as the Beverly Hills of Prague. This isn’t a museum stop—it’s a neighborhood-style viewpoint moment.

What you gain here is context. You see a different Prague face than the postcard center: quieter streets, bigger homes, and a sense of how the city stretches up the hills. It’s also the kind of stop that makes the Segway idea click. On foot, you’d likely only pass through quickly. Here, it’s part of the designed route.

Villa Müller: architecture and a break from the main drag

Then comes Villa Müller—another short stop. Like Na Ořechovce, this is a “look closer” pause rather than a long indoor visit.

The practical benefit: you get a memorable landmark without losing your momentum. And you’re still on a vehicle that lets you keep seeing rather than constantly re-starting on foot.

If you’re the type who likes architecture details, this sort of stop can be satisfying. If you’re mostly in Prague for big-ticket sights, you may want to treat this as a palate cleanser between monastery views.

St. Norbert Church: small stop, nice payoff

After that, the route includes the Church of St. Norbert. It’s listed as a short stop, with the tour designed to keep moving so you can cover more sites.

What to expect: you’ll get the chance to see the church from near enough that it feels real, not just like a distant silhouette. Since this is a guided ride, you’re not standing there wondering what you’re looking at—you’re in the right place at the right time.

Strahov Monastery (12th century): the hilltop vibe you came for

Now the tour shifts into the kind of Prague scenery people love: elevated, calmer, and more atmospheric.

Strahovsky Klaster is described as a monastery from the 12th century, with a stop time around 10 minutes. Even if you don’t go inside on the Segway route, the value is in the setting—views, stone, and that hilltop feeling that makes Prague look timeless.

This is also a smart stop for energy management. You’re outside, but you’re not walking a long distance uphill from one viewpoint to the next. You park the Segway, look, listen, then roll again.

Strahov Monastery Brewery: where the beer upgrade makes sense

The most beer-focused stop is Strahov Monastery Brewery. The tour description calls it a brewery from the 15th century, and it’s listed as a longer visit (about 15 minutes).

Important detail: drinks are optional. They’re included only in the 3-hour private tour option. So if you’re booking a shorter duration or a non-private format, plan on paying for any specific tastings yourself (or just enjoy the atmosphere without ordering).

Why this stop is worth it even if you don’t drink: brewery buildings tend to feel grounded and lived-in. You’re not just looking at a landmark; you’re stepping into a working tradition. And pairing it with the Segway ride means you’re not turning your day into a long pub crawl that burns time and legs.

The park driving section: the “practice feels good” moment

You’ll also get time in an amazing green park—listed as a 10-minute driving stop. The point is simple: you need space to move comfortably, and parks are ideal for that.

This section can be the difference between a tour that feels stressful and one that feels fun. Even if you became comfortable during the initial training, having a second practice-like environment helps you relax into the ride.

Břevnov Monastery (only on longer options): an added chapter of Prague

If you choose the 3-hour tour option, you’ll add Břevnov Monastery. The description notes it’s a Benedictine archabbey founded in 993 AD, with Saint Adalbert involved and support from Bohemian Duke Boleslaus.

Why it matters to you: longer routes aren’t only about adding time. They add variety—different hill zones, different architectural energy, and more “real Prague” than the tightest center loop.

Even as a short stop, it gives you a chance to step into the city’s spiritual and historical layers without turning the day into a full-time tour marathon.

Břevnov Monastery Brewery (only on 3-hour options): oldest-brewery vibe

Also on the 3-hour tour option is Břevnov Monastery Brewery. The tour states it follows the oldest documented brewery in the Czech Republic, including the brewery’s founding linked to 993.

This is where beer upgrades feel most meaningful. You’re not only seeing one brewery. You’re getting the idea that beer here is part of a long timeline.

Again, you’ll want to check what’s included with your exact duration/format, because the data specifically says drinks are included only in the 3-hour private tour option.

Great Strahov Stadium: for the 2-hour and 3-hour choices

Depending on which option you choose, you may also stop near the Great Strahov Stadium. The tour notes it was built for large-scale synchronized gymnastics displays, and it gives a comparison of field size versus a standard association football pitch.

This stop is a good change of pace if you like oddball landmarks. It also gives you a broader view of Prague’s scale—big spaces, big events, and a part of the city that’s not all about medieval streets.

Weather, safety, and ride rules you’ll want to respect

Prague weather can flip fast, and the tour is pretty clear on how they handle it:

• In winter, they use special snow tires so riding on snow is described as safe
• In light rain, raincoats are provided free, and tours run as planned
• In extreme weather, your tour may be rescheduled or canceled with a full refund for safety

One more rule: riding is strongly forbidden for people under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or strong medicine. That’s not just “company policy.” It’s a safety necessity when you’re sharing a route with other riders.

Guides make a difference: Sebastian and An

The ride quality often comes down to how the guide handles the group.

I especially like how this tour pairs structured instruction with storytelling. In the feedback, Sebastian is called out for making Segway riding easy after the training session and for running a smooth, confidence-building start. Another guide, An, is praised for being knowledgeable and taking her time with explanations.

If you’ve got questions while you’re gliding—about what you’re seeing, why it’s there, or what to do next in Prague—having a guide who slows down enough to answer helps a lot.

Who should book this Segway and beer tour?

This is a strong fit if:

• you want to cover multiple Prague stops without burning your feet on hills
• you like monastery and brewery vibes more than only grand squares
• you want a guided ride that teaches you how to move confidently
• you’re traveling with a mix of mobility levels (since the route is ride-based, not only walking)

You might skip it if:

• you’re desperate to enter Prague Castle itself on Segway (this route only offers views)
• you don’t want any chance of extra costs for beer tastings outside the 3-hour private option
• you don’t meet the age/weight requirements

Should you book? My practical take

If your goal is an efficient, fun way to see hilltop Prague with real landmarks and an optional beer storyline, I’d say yes—especially if you like the Strahov and Břevnov area.

Choose the right duration based on your priorities:

• If beer is central and you want drinks included, consider the 3-hour private option
• If you just want the sights and the ride experience, a shorter option can still deliver the key viewpoints and monastery atmosphere

Just remember the one big catch: no Prague Castle entry on Segway. If Castle interior tickets matter to you, plan that separately and use this tour for the outside views and the quieter, off-the-main-path feel.
