Prague by Segway feels almost unreal. You get to glide through the Strahov area and into beer-making sites tied to monastic life, with tastings that connect what you see to what you sip. I especially like that there’s a practice run before you set off and that the route includes two ancient brewing stops at Břevnov and the surrounding Strahov district. One thing to keep in mind: the Břevnov monastery access can change, and on at least one occasion the tour plan has shifted to spend less time there.

This is a small-group outing (max 10) built for people who want motion plus context, not just standing around. It runs about 3 hours and ends back where you start at Mostecká 53/4 in Malá Strana.

Key things to know before you ride

• Practice run first: you’ll learn the Segway before the sightseeing part starts, so you spend less time figuring it out and more time enjoying the route.
• Two monastery brewing stops: Břevnov and the brewing tradition tied to the Strahov side of town.
• Beer tasting is part of the experience: tastings are included, but you’ll buy alcohol separately if you want more.
• Strahov Stadium time adds perspective: you’ll see the stadium’s scale and cultural-monument status from outside.
• Small group feel: maximum of 10 travelers keeps the pace manageable.
• Prague weather prep: raincoat is optional, but it’s worth bringing a plan for drizzle and cold wind around the hills.

Why a Segway beer tour makes sense in Prague

Prague isn’t flat, and that matters when you’re trying to fit in big sights without spending the whole time grinding uphill on foot. A Segway tour turns a “walk this entire district” plan into something smoother: you can cover ground without arriving tired, so you actually pay attention to the details the guide points out.

What makes this experience work is the pairing of motion and meaning. You’re not just riding past famous buildings. You’re riding toward places where brewing has roots in monastic routines, then sampling beer along the way. That’s a better way to remember a city: you connect streets, architecture, and daily life to a taste.

I also like the practical design. You get a practice run, you wear a helmet, and you start from a clear meeting point in Malá Strana. That setup lowers the “first-time Segway anxiety” factor, especially if you’re not used to balancing devices.

Price and value: what $91.92 buys you

At about $91.92 per person for roughly 3 hours, this isn’t the cheapest way to do Prague. But it has three things that usually justify the price:

• You get professional guidance plus hands-on Segway support (not just a ticket and a map).
• You’re moving efficiently between hill neighborhoods, including a major landmark area around Strahov.
• Tastings are included as part of the brewery focus.

The one budget item to plan for is alcohol. The tour includes tastings, but alcoholic beverages aren’t included. If you want to buy a larger pour or extra beer after the tastings, you’ll do that at the Břevnov monastery area. So think of the price as paying for the ride, the story, and the tasting service—not for an all-you-can-drink session.

Starting in Malá Strana: where you meet and how the tour flows

The tour meets at Mostecká 53/4 in Malá Strana (118 00, Praha-Praha 1). It ends back at the same point, which is helpful because you’re not forced into a second commute after the tour.

A few practical notes that affect your comfort:

• Wear comfortable walking shoes. Even with a Segway, you’ll still be on and off the platform at stops.
• Bring something for weather. A raincoat is available as an optional item, which is useful when Prague switches seasons suddenly.
• It’s near public transportation, so if you’re staying elsewhere in the city, you can plan your day without adding a long taxi ride.
• Service animals are allowed, and in general most people can participate if they can manage the Segway.

Also, there’s a cap of 10 people. That usually means less waiting around for turns and more room for the guide to keep things calm and organized.

Segway training and what to expect before the first stop

Before you start sightseeing, you get a practice run. That matters more than many people realize. Your time on the Segway isn’t just “fun”—it’s your access system to viewpoints and hill-adjacent streets that you’d otherwise skip or struggle through on foot.

You’ll also be provided with the Segway and basic safety kit:

• Helmet
• Raincoat (optional)

That’s the rhythm to expect: training, then you roll out with the guide. If you’ve never ridden a personal transporter like this, the practice run is where you’ll get comfortable with smooth starts/stops so you can focus on the scenery and brewery context after.

Stop 1: Břevnov Monastery, Benedictine roots and beer surroundings

Your first real destination is Břevnov Monastery (Břevnovský klášter), one of the key places connected to the Order of St. Benedict. You’ll spend about 30 minutes here, and admission is listed as free for this portion.

Why this stop is more than a pretty church-and-garden break: the tour is about connecting monastic life to brewing traditions. Even if you only see parts of the complex, you’ll get the feeling of a place designed for routine—work, worship, and daily survival systems. Brewing fit that logic. It wasn’t a side hobby; it was part of how communities planned meals and beverages.

In practical terms, arrive ready to look slowly. Monastery complexes reward patience. If you rush, you’ll miss the cues the guide uses to link what you’re seeing to what you’ll taste next.

Stop 2: Břevnov Brewery sv. Vojtěcha and a taste you can place

Right after Břevnov Monastery, you’ll head to the Břevnov brewery area (Břevnovský klasterní pivovar sv. Vojtěcha). This stop is also about 30 minutes, and admission is listed as free for the tour component.

This is where the story gets specific:

• The Břevnov brewing site is connected to the oldest documented brewery in the Czech lands.
• The monastery foundation is dated to 993.
• Beer production has had interruptions through history and resumed in 2011.

That “interrupted then resumed” detail is useful for your expectations. You’re not visiting an unchanging museum. You’re visiting an active tradition that survived disruptions and then restarted in modern times. That gives the tasting extra meaning: you’re trying something brewed with continuity of purpose, not just a reenactment.

What to watch for: keep your attention on what the guide explains about the beer style and the monastery connection. Since beer isn’t included beyond tastings, the tasting is your chance to decide what you’ll want to buy later.

Strahov Stadium: a massive pause with a cultural-monument angle

After the Břevnov stops, you head toward the Strahov side of town. The tour includes stops by Strahov Stadium, including two scheduled windows:

• A shorter pause of about 5 minutes
• A longer view of about 10 minutes

Even if you don’t follow football, the stadium’s scale is hard to ignore. The stadium is cited as the largest area in the world, with a capacity of about 250,000 seats, including around 56,000 seats. It’s also registered on the list of cultural monuments of the Czech Republic (since March 6, 2003).

Why this fits the theme: it’s the contrast moment. Monastery brewing ties you to old routines; Strahov Stadium shows you how Czech history also includes grand public spaces built for modern identity. You get to see how Prague layers time on top of itself.

And you’ll likely use this stretch for photos and orientation. The guide’s job here is to help you understand where you are in the Strahov district so the next stops land with context rather than feeling like random scenery.

Strahov Monastery and the 12th-century brewing link

The route also includes the Strahov Monastery area (known fully as the Royal Canonry of the Premonstratensian Order in Strahov). This monastery is described as the oldest Premonstratensian monastery in Bohemia, founded in 1143.

The tour framing also connects to brewing that dates to the early 12th century (often given as 1142). That gives you an immediate reason to pay attention even if you don’t memorize the exact year—this is the period where monastic life and brewing practices became part of the region’s long rhythm.

In a practical sense, expect architecture and atmosphere to be the focus, with the guide connecting it back to beer. Since you’ve already tasted around Břevnov, this portion helps you compare how different institutions and timelines shape what you’re experiencing.

Rolling past parks: Ladronka and Park Hvězda for viewpoint breaks

Along the way, you also pass through park areas, including Ladronka park and Park Hvězda. The tour description also mentions sights like Park Sacre Coeur and the Strahov district.

These park stops aren’t about buying anything or rushing photos. They’re about giving your eyes a reset. Prague’s brewery story can otherwise get heavy if you only visit indoor spaces. Parks let you breathe, take in the slopes and angles, and understand how the neighborhoods sit around major landmarks.

The Segway helps here because you’re not forced to walk every connecting street. The guide’s pacing keeps the route moving while still giving you moments to take things in.

So what’s the overall experience like?

Think of this as a half-day format that balances:

• onboarding (practice run)
• two brewing-adjacent monastery stops you can connect to tastings
• a landmark segment that shows the scale of the Strahov area
• outdoor viewpoint breaks through parks

It’s best if you like guided storytelling more than self-guided wandering. You’ll get more out of it when you’re open to the guide linking monastery orders, foundation years, and beer production interruptions to what ends up in your glass.

And it’s best if you enjoy tasting as a way to make history stick. Instead of reading about brewing traditions later, you’ll remember the taste and the place name in the same mental bundle.

The main drawback to watch for: Břevnov access can change

One important caution: the plan can shift if access to Břevnov Monastery is affected. At least once, the tour guide reportedly described the monastery as closed for reconstruction, and the tour ended up spending less time there than expected.

You can’t fully control what happens on a given day, but you can protect your time by being flexible and checking in on the day-of message if the operator provides updates. If Břevnov ends up limited, you’ll still have the Strahov side of the story, but the full “two ancient breweries” rhythm may feel less complete.

Who should book this tour?

This is a strong fit if you:

• want a 3-hour Segway experience with real stops, not just a ride-by sightseeing loop
• like the idea of pairing monasteries with beer tastings
• prefer a small-group pace (max 10)
• want help learning the Segway without fumbling around on your own

It may be less ideal if you:

• need a strict, museum-style schedule with no plan changes
• expect beer to be included as drinks beyond tastings
• get easily uncomfortable on a device that requires balancing (even though you’ll get training)

Practical tips for getting the most out of it

• Start your day with light expectations: the tasting is part of the experience, not unlimited beer.
• Wear shoes you trust on uneven paving and steps. Even short transfers can involve some walking.
• If it’s chilly or rainy, plan for wind around the hills near Strahov and the monastery areas. The optional raincoat can help.
• Keep your phone charged for photos at Strahov Stadium and the park viewpoint moments.

Should you book the VIP Prague Segway Tour Around Monastic Breweries?

I’d book it if you want an efficient, story-driven way to connect Prague’s brewery traditions to actual monastery sites, and you’re excited by the Segway training element. The value comes from the guide-led flow, the two monastery-centered brewery stops, and the fact that tastings are built into the format rather than left to chance.

I’d hesitate only if Břevnov monastery access is a must-have for you. Because plans can change, you’ll want to be flexible about timing and where the emphasis lands on the day.

If that sounds like your style—curious, active, and happy to connect taste to place—this is a fun way to spend a half-day in Prague.
