Want to see historic Prague in a single hour in complete comfort? If so, our hour-long cruise through Prague is just for you — from the deck of our boats and steamboats you'll see the city's most famous landmarks.

Cruise route and what you'll see

The boat departs from Rašínovo nábřeží (Rašín Embankment) and first heads downstream along the Vltava to the lock by the Šítkov Water Tower near Žofín Island. It then rounds Shooters' Island on the left, opening up an unforgettable view of Charles Bridge and Prague Castle, before returning back through the lock. It then continues upstream to legendary Vyšehrad, where it turns around and heads back to Rašínovo nábřeží.

A unique experience

During the cruise you'll experience a thrilling passage through the Mánes lock — and you'll do it twice. See for yourself how the boat handles the difference in water levels on the Vltava.
