The restaurant paddle steamer Vltava is the last of the two historic steamboats on the Vltava. The other one is the steamboat Vyšehrad. Even after several complete renovations, it has retained its unmistakable historic charm, which makes it a popular venue for weddings, company events, and an extraordinary setting for conferences or teambuilding.
You can also set sail on it for sightseeing cruises through historic Prague, cruises to the zoo and the traditional cruise to Slapy or trip to Mělník.
