The Vltava: a river that inspired music

Czech Republic. Prague. The Vltava. Czech composer Bedřich Smetana dedicated a cycle to his homeland, and the most famous symphonic poem from it is dedicated precisely to the Vltava. In the poem, Smetana describes the river’s flow from its sources to its mouth and its confluence with the Elbe. You have the chance to ride through a part of this “poem” on our comfortable boat! The cruise lasts two hours.

“Wild water” — and why it’s nothing to fear today

The name Vltava comes from the Old German Wilth-ahwa (“Wild water”). Of course, these days there’s no “wild water” to worry about. Instead, step on board and set off on a stunning tour beneath Prague’s bridges.

And the bridges are definitely worth it — especially the beautiful Charles Bridge, resting on 16 powerful arches and decorated with 13 sculptures! It’s one of the city’s symbols and often appears in cinema (for example, “Mission: Impossible”). Cruising beneath it is an essential item on many “What to see and do in Prague” lists.

Any season works: warm cabins or a sunny terrace

The tour is available at any time of year. Warm indoor cabins or a sunny terrace are at your disposal!

This is one of those tours you can confidently do with children, because everyone loves a boat ride!
