Amazing way to see the city
I love sightseeing cruises like this since you see so much of the city, and there’s minimal effort on your part. We saw Charles Bridge, Kampa Island, the Jewish Quarter, and even glimpsed the Old Town Square and the Town Hall with the Astronomical Clock! Prague is really gorgeous, and it was a treat to just sit back and drink in all the sights. Definitely recommend!
Very relaxing, fun, and educational
City cruises are always a good idea in my book. Just looking at the waves and feeling the spray was great, plus we saw the Golden Lane and glimpsed the Town Hall with the Astronomical Clock. I was positively surprised by the audio commentary! It actually had tons of interesting facts. Also appreciated the skip-the-line tickets. We visited in October, and I did not want to wait in the cold.

DRINK IN PANORAMIC VIEWS OF PRAGUE’S WATERFRONT
Your Vltava river cruise will sail up and down Prague’s main waterway, taking you through the very heart of the city. It is the perfect vantage point for sightseeing! Your first landmark will be the Rudolfinum art museum, famous for its contemporary art exhibitions. You’ll also see the Dancing House, an architectural marvel where a building resembles two dancers. Then, float underneath Charles Bridge, which used to be the only way to cross the Vltava, and get up close to the charming Kampa Island right next door. Finally, you’ll sail past Prague Castle, the largest coherent castle complex in the world!
UNWIND AS YOU SAIL OVER THE WAVES
Boat trips like the Prague River Cruise take you away from the city chaos and instead surround you with cool, calm waters. As you cruise through the capital of the Czech Republic, listen to the rhythmic lapping of the waves and breathe in the fresh air. The rocking motion and cool breeze will definitely relax you — especially on the upper deck, with its fantastic views over the city. For an even more memorable experience, consider upgrading to the best dinner cruise in Prague, where you can enjoy local cuisine, live music, and magical evening views — all while gliding along the Vltava.
LISTEN TO YOUR AUDIO GUIDE TO LEARN PRAGUE’S HISTORY
As part of the cruise, you’ll receive an audio guide that’ll make all the history of all the sights you see come alive! Learn how large the Charles Bridge is — 516 m long and 10 m wide — while seeing its size yourself! You’ll also learn about the Devil's Stream on Kampa Island and the sharp-tongued woman it was named after. The audio guide will also teach you about the history of Prague Castle’s rulers.
DISEMBARK AND STROLL THROUGH PRAGUE ON FOOT
Step off the boat and continue your visit to Prague on land. Why not get a bite to eat after all that sightseeing? Field Restaurant is a delicious fine-dining restaurant nearby, and U Parlamentu is great for smaller bites.

Pass under Prague's famous Charles Bridge
Until 1841, there was only one bridge that allowed people to cross the river in Prague. It was the Charles Bridge, built between 1357 and 1402. For over 400 years, this was actually the only way to cross the Vltava in Prague. However, with the rise of the industrial revolution, it became easier and easier to construct additional pathways over the river — highly necessary, considering the river runs for 31 kilometres within Prague.
