“Despite the freezing cold outside, the Vltava River cruise in Prague was wonderfully warm and cozy inside. Sitting comfortably with a sip of hot tea while enjoying the soft sunlight made the experience incredibly relaxing. The breathtaking views of the magnificent Prague Castle from the river were absolutely unforgettable and made everything feel truly magical. This cruise was the perfect way to enjoy the city in winter—peaceful, scenic, and completely worth it. Highly recommended!❤️”
Spend two hours seeing Prague from the Vltava River on a sightseeing boat with open-deck views, Wi-Fi, maps, and optional drinks or snacks. You’ll pass Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, Vyšehrad, and possibly the Smíchov water lock. There is no live guide, so use the online commentary or booklet.
“Staff on board were very attentive and drinks were lovey”
You will tour Prague by bus, on foot, and by boat in about 6.5 hours. Visit Prague Castle, walk through Old Town, and enjoy a buffet lunch on a glass-roofed Vltava boat. Guides speak English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, or Russian. Expect substantial walking and no hotel drop-off.
“This is a great introduction to Prague, you can then visit the places that you pass and spend more time at them. Overall our guide passed on her knowledge in a way you could understand.”
Visit Prague Castle with a live English or German guide, entering St. Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica, and Golden Lane. A 30-minute air-conditioned bus ride gets you there. Add the Vltava cruise for city views from the water, but plan your own route from the castle to the pier.
