About this tour
The classic cars waiting near the Old Town look like props from a film, but they are a practical way to see a lot of Prague in a short time, especially if the climb to the castle is not for you. You sit high, the roof is open, and the city moves past slowly enough to take it all in.
Why a private ride works
The historic centre is compact, but the best views are on the hills around it. A car links them in one ride: the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter, the Letná viewpoint across the river, and the castle district of Hradčany on the other side. Because the car is only for you, you choose where to stop for photos and how long to stay.
The ride suits couples, families and older travellers, and it is a favourite for birthdays and anniversaries. For company events and groups, several cars drive together, which makes a memorable start to a dinner or a team evening.
Timing and weather
Late afternoon gives the warmest light for photos, and a ride after dark shows the castle and the bridges lit up. In summer, morning rides are cooler. If it rains, the roof goes up, or we move the ride to a drier moment.
Make it part of a bigger plan
Many guests ride up to the castle and walk down with a licensed guide, or end the ride at a restaurant we have booked for dinner. Send us your date and group size and we arrange everything in one itemised quote.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the vintage car tour?
The standard ride takes about two hours with photo stops. A shorter ride of about one hour covers the Old Town and the river, and a longer one can add a walk at the castle with a licensed guide.
How many people fit in one car?
Usually four or five guests per car. For more people we arrange several cars that drive together, which works well for groups and company events.
What happens if it rains?
Most classic cars have a folding roof. If the weather is poor, we can also move the ride to another time, depending on availability.
Can we combine the ride with a walking tour?
Yes. A popular plan is to ride up to Prague Castle and then walk down through the castle and the Lesser Town with a licensed guide.
