Board at Pier 4 for a 50-minute evening ride along the Vltava. You’ll pass Rudolfinum, Charles Bridge, Kampa Island, Prague Castle, Petřín Tower, and Štvanice Island.

“We met the boat at the meeting point, and we were early for our time, so the staff put us on the earlier boat. The boat itself was fantastic, spotless clean, and the staff on board offered table service. We went upstairs on the boat, and as it was so cold, the offer was available for blankets. We had a drink, and it was delivered super fast. The audio was amazing and very clear for you to hear and understand, and point out all the local historical points. Which gave us great ideas of where to go and visit the next day. Highly recommend taking part in the boat river…”

At some point we felt punished for not being smokers as they had a top tier with nice view and tables. Food and one welcoming drink was included in the price but other soft and alcoholic drinks you have to pay separately. Overall experience was nice! Thanks!”

It was really good value for money and a lovely way to spend our final evening in Prague. The food was incredibly tasty with plenty to choose from; particularly as a Vegetarian but the particular highlight was the service. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful but a particular shout out has to go to the Host Vladimir; who made our evening and couldn’t have done anything more for us.

Food was decent quality, staff were friendly and welcoming and the boat including WC was really clean. 2.5 hours is defiantly enough time though as there is lots of circling up and down the river. We sat inside which was the right choice given the temperatures were low at this time of year but thankfully we had the option to pop outside for a short while to see the lovely views which was nice as the reflection of the windows from inside made it a little difficult to fully to see. The band was good and talented. Could of done with…”
