Vltava River
Description:
The Czech name for the river comes from the ancient German word Wilth-ahwa, which means “wild water”. It may once have been wild, but today Vlatva is an integral part of Prague. This river stretches for 430 kilometers and passes through the city, interrupted in some places by dams. The most popular tourist walks are either along the river or along it.
In Prague, water routes are very popular, allowing you to see Chekhov and Charles Bridge, the National Theatre, the district of Malá Strana and Hradchanu, traveling by a comfortable steamship or boat. On the banks of the river are the main architectural pearls that make up the world-famous historical appearance of Prague. From the water, they offer a completely different view, as if you were walking along the embankment on foot.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the water hotels that are directly on board moored boats. Their cabins, as well as the incredible feeling of staying in such a floating hotel, will give a special taste to the general impressions of visiting Prague.
