Mobility equipment hire in Prague (Czech Republic)
Frequently Asked Questions – Hire a Wheelchair or Mobility Scooter in Prague
Prague blends a storybook historic core with Vltava riverfront promenades and green parks—great to enjoy at an easy pace with a mobility device. Between monumental squares, pedestrian boulevards and street-level cafés, you can alternate sightseeing with relaxed breaks (think hearty stews, koláče and trdelník) year-round.
1. Is Prague accessible for people with reduced mobility?
Yes—with the nuances of a historic city. In the main tourist areas you'll find wide pavements, kerb cuts and many level stretches (Old Town, riverbanks, major parks). Some older streets feature cobblestones or slopes, but there are usually smoother alternative routes via boulevards and the riverside.
2. Which accessible attractions can I visit with a mobility device?
Comfortable route ideas to enjoy heritage and the river at a steady pace:
- Old Town Square (Staroměstské náměstí): a large, level plaza with gentle routes along the main axes.
- Vltava riverbanks & Náplavka: paved waterside promenades with views to bridges and the castle.
- Kampa Island: flat pedestrian areas ideal for a mid-route rest.
- Letná Park (upper promenade, Metronome): broad esplanades and viewpoints; some access paths have gentle slopes.
- Stromovka Park: a very flat park with wide, shaded paths.
- Shopping boulevards (Na Příkopě, Pařížská): smooth surfaces and accessible terraces.
- Castle District (outer squares and courtyards): look for signed easier routes; note that some areas are on a slope.
Mix outdoor sections with accessible museums and cafés to pace your day comfortably.
3. Where do you deliver the mobility equipment?
We deliver to hotels (we can leave the equipment at reception if authorised by the property) and to homes/flats within Prague. You can also request delivery and collection at different addresses within the city.
4. Can I access monuments and museums with a wheelchair or scooter?
Yes. Most major venues provide ramps, lifts and adapted routes. Very old buildings may include limited sections, but accessible alternatives are typically available so you can enjoy the visit without barriers.
5. What's the best way to get around Prague with reduced mobility?
Use low-floor trams and buses and taxis. In the metro, step-free access varies by station; for longer distances, combine accessible public transport with smooth routes along the Vltava and the main boulevards.
6. Which areas are the most comfortable to explore?
Old Town Square, Vltava riverbanks – Náplavka, Kampa Island, Stromovka and the Na Příkopě / Pařížská axes for their wide, level surfaces.
7. Do you offer same-day delivery?
In many cases yes, depending on availability and request time. Asking early helps secure your preferred slot.

Wir haben in einem Hotel in der Altstadt gewohnt. Manchmal ist es etwas anstrengend den Rollstuhl über das Kopfsteinpflaster zu schieben. Wir würden das nächste Mal einen elektrischen Rollstuhl nehmen.

Il servizio è stato molto buono, ma purtroppo il tipo di pavimentazione stradale in centro a Praga è difficilmente praticabile con la sedia a rotelle. A chi vi chiede questo servizio di noleggio a Praga dovreste evidenziare il problema ed eventualmente suggerire un dispositivo diverso. Da sola non sarei mai riuscita a girare in città e mio marito ha faticato molto nell'accompagnarmi.
