Would you like to try an alternative means of transport in Prague? You can take advantage of the bike-sharing system and enjoy the city while riding a bike or a scooter.
Bike-sharing is becoming more and more popular in Prague and throughout the Czech Republic, with the number of borrowings growing every year.
How Bike-Sharing Works
You select your preferred operator and download the app to your mobile phone. The app will show free bikes in your area using GPS. When the unlock code is received, the bicycle is available. After riding, you put the bike in a suitable place.
