The ability to buy tickets online makes the whole process quick and easy. Once we arrived, our guide—who also spoke Italian—gave us some introductory information: a bit of Czech history, notable figures, and an overview of the different areas included in the ticket, as well as the opening hours of various sites (St. Vitus Cathedral) and the schedules for some very atmospheric traditional events, such as the changing of the guard. All of these aspects made the ticket well worth the price. Don’t miss the panoramic views from the terrace.

Know before you book your cruise tickets

  • Sightseeing cruises are the perfect way to take a scenic journey through Prague. If you want a quick yet comprehensive tour, opt for one of the 1-hour cruises. For a more leisurely experience, choose one of the longer sightseeing, lunch, or dinner cruises, which can last from 2 to 6 hours.
  • Choosing between a daytime, evening, or night cruise depends on your preferences. If you’re looking for clear views and warm weather, consider a daytime cruise. Evening cruises offer magnificent sunset vistas of the city and the Vltava River. For a taste of Prague’s vibrant culture and nightlife, go for a dinner cruise, which offers live entertainment along with a scrumptious meal.
  • If you’re looking to pair your Prague boat trip with a taste of traditional Czech cuisine, a lunch cruise or dinner cruise is ideal for you. Most of these cruises offer a buffet, allowing you to sample a wide range of Czech culinary favourites.
  • There’s a cruise for every budget. A basic sightseeing cruise offers a great Prague river experience at just €18. Mid-range options include longer sightseeing cruises or those with a meal. If you’re looking for something more luxurious, the dinner cruise on an open-top glass boat with live music at €69 is for you.
  • Combo packages are ideal if you want to economize and cover multiple experiences in a single ticket. Combine your cruise with a visit to one of the city's most popular attractions, like Prague Castle or the Astronomical Clock.

Approximately 430 kilometers (267 miles) long, the Vltava River is the longest in the Czech Republic. It weaves its way through scenic landscapes, charming towns, and historic sites before reaching the capital city of Prague.

This river holds a special place in the city's history and culture. Its tranquil waters have witnessed the city's triumphs, tragedies, and enduring spirit. Over the decades, many of the city's most prominent buildings and architectural gems have been built along the river banks, such as Prague Castle, National Theatre, Rudolfinum, Vyšehrad Castle, Straka Academy, and many more.

There are 18 bridges in Prague city across the Vltava River, the most famous of which is the iconic 14th-century Charles, which is also Europe's oldest stone bridge.

So, step aboard a Vltava river cruise in Prague and let the Vltava weave its magic, taking you on an unforgettable journey through time and beauty.

Visitor tips

Spring and autumn

  • The best time to go on a river cruise is during the shoulder season months in spring — April and May, and autumn — September and October.
  • During these times, the weather is usually mild and pleasant, making it ideal for a Vltava River cruise while enjoying the picturesque views of Prague's iconic landmarks.
  • Additionally, these months typically see fewer crowds compared to the peak summer season, allowing for a more tranquil and enjoyable experience.

Summer

  • The summer months from June to August are a great time for a cruise, with clear skies and sunny weather. However, the temperatures can get uncomfortably high, and the city is usually very crowded as this is the peak tourist season.
