Do you love climbing and want to continue during your stay in Prague? Then this article is just for you. I have selected the five best climbing gyms in Prague that you must try. What’s more, you will meet great people at all of them, with whom you can then go on to do other activities.
1. Jungle Letňany
This isn’t just a climbing wall, it’s a real jungle! You won’t find this climbing wall in the center of Prague, but for me, it’s one of the best complexes in Prague. Especially if you love climbing.
In addition to a huge climbing wall with a large number of routes, you’ll also find a large boulder, a parkour hall, and a gymnastics hall. There are also many different events held here, such as yoga classes, group acro-yoga, and movie screenings on the wall. This is simply a climbing gym that you will absolutely love.
How to get there? The closest bus stop to the gym is Avia Letňany, which can be reached by buses from the Letňany and Nádraží Holešovice metro stations.
2. Smíchoff
This climbing wall is excellent, as is its location in relation to the center of Prague. It is probably one of the most accessible climbing walls from the tourist areas of Prague. In addition, it is the largest climbing wall in the entire Czech Republic. Everyone can enjoy themselves here – from complete beginners to very experienced climbers. On the wall, you will find several auto belays and a spacious boulder. A number of climbing courses are also held here.
How to get there? You can walk here from the Praha-Smíchov train station, which is served by a large number of trams, trains, and buses. You will also find the Smíchovské nádraží metro station here.
3. BigWall
BigWall is the highest climbing wall in Prague and is a great choice for experienced climbers looking for challenging routes and long overhangs. That’s exactly what you’ll find here. You’ll also find a large outdoor rock simulation and a spacious chimney for trying out new climbing techniques.
How to get there? The nearest stop is Nádraží Libeň, which is served by many trains, trams, and buses.
4. Hudy Boulder Karlín
If you’re not looking for a large climbing wall, but bouldering is enough for you, then you’ll definitely like Hudy Boulder Karlín. This climbing wall is newly opened and offers one of the best climbing experiences in Prague. In addition, it is easily accessible from the city center and there is also a great section for children.
How to get there? Hudy Boulder Karlín is just a short walk from the Křižíkova metro station.
